Sitting under a small umbrella leaving the royal canopy and taking a glass crystal in place of a diamond would be a foolish act.
Accepting glass pieces in place of rubies, seeds of Abrus Precatorius in place of gold or wearing a tattered blanket in place of silk apparel would be an indication of base wisdom.
Leaving aside dainty dishes, one eats insipid fruits of Acacia tree, and apply paste of wild turmeric in place of fragrant saffron and camphor, would be an act of total ignorance.
Similarly, meeting with an evil and vice-ridden person, all comforts and good deeds shrink to such a size as if an ocean has been reduced to the size of a small cup. (389)
