and India certainly,

He that teaches us anything which we knew not before is undoubtedly to be reverenced as a master. ~ Samuel Johnson
Amarasakti ruled Mahilaropyam in the south of India anciently,
He had three witless sons who were a matter of endless worry,
Realizing that his sons
had no interest in learning sincerely,

Wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things. ~ Bible. Ecclesiastes, 10. 19.
The love of money is the root of all evil.~ Bible. 1 Timothy, 6. 10.
Long long ago, Vardhaman, a merchant, lived in a south Indian
city,
While resting one day it struck him - the axis of the world was
money,
And that the more he had money the more powerful he would be,

It is unwise to poke your nose in affairs that do not concern you
Who interferes in other's work, surely comes to grief
Curiosity killed the cat
A merchant building a temple in the middle of his garden
eagerly,
Masons and carpenters
were working for the merchant adequately,
For their lunch they took time off every day to go to the town
daily,

“It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.” ~ Mark Twain
Only the brave succeed in life
Great/brave men harm not the weak – they take on their equals only
A hungry jackal sought food in an abandoned battlefield unwittingly,
Herein he heard loud and strange sounds which he grasped not
truly,
Scared, he reflected:Munindra Misrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03886104112189517698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1305050872216366981.post-38622144639224976992012-05-16T04:00:00.000-07:002012-06-15T18:15:48.824-07:005 Fall And Rise of A Merchant

One should treat one and all, even the lowest with respect
Even if the king is unwilling to heed good advice, it is the minister’s duty to offer it to him
Pride goes before fall
In the city of Vardhaman, there lived Dantila a merchant wealthy,
His wedding graced by king, queen, ministers, rich, powerful of
the city,
Present there was
