camel, and fell upon its neck.  Enraged at finding the bulls fall upon its neck, the camel, endued with great speed, rose up and ran at a quick pace, bearing away the two helpless creatures dangling on either side of its neck.  Beholding his two bulls thus borne away by that strong camel, and seeing that they were at the point of death, Manki began to say, ’If wealth be not ordained by destiny, it can never be acquired by even a clever man exerting himself with attention and confidence and accomplishing with skill all that is necessary towards that end.  I had, before this, endeavoured by diverse means and devotion to earn wealth.  Behold this misfortune brought about by destiny to the property I had!  My bulls are borne away, rising and falling, as the camel is running in an uneven course.  This occurrence seems to be an accident.[523] Alas, those dear bulls of mine are dangling on the camel’s neck like a couple of gems!  This is only the result of Destiny.  Exertion is futile in what is due to Chance.  Or, if the existence of anything like Exertion (as an agent in the production of results) be admitted, a deeper search would discover Destiny to be at the bottom.[524] Hence, the person that desires happiness should renounce all attachment.  The man without attachments, no longer cherishing any desire for earning wealth, can sleep happily.  Ho, it was well said by Suka while going to the great forest from his father’s abode, renouncing everything![525]—­Amongst these two, viz., one who obtains the fruition of all his wishes, and one who casts off every wish, the latter, who renounces all, is superior to the former who obtains the fruition of all.  No one could ever attain to the end of desire.[526] Only he that is destitute of knowledge and judgments feels an avidity for protecting his body and life.—­Forbear from every desire for action.  O my Soul that art possessed by cupidity, adopt tranquillity by freeing thyself from all attachments!  Repeatedly hast thou been deceived (by desire and hope).  How is it that thou dost not still free thyself from attachments?  If I am not one that deserves destruction at thy hands, if I am one with whom thou shouldst sport in delight, then, O my wealth-coveting Soul, do not induce me towards cupidity.  Thou hast repeatedly lost thy hoarded wealth.  O my wealth-coveting and foolish Soul, when wilt thou succeed in emancipating thyself from the desire of wealth?  Shame on my foolishness!  I have become a toy of thine!  It is thus that one becomes a slave of others.  No one born on earth did ever attain to the end of desire, and to one that will take birth will succeed in attaining to it.  Casting off all acts, I have at last been roused from sleep.  I am now awake.  Without doubt, O Desire, thy heart is as hard as adamant, since though affected by a hundred distresses, thou does not break into a hundred pieces!  I know thee, O Desire, and all those things that are dear to thee!  Seeking what is dear to thee, I shall feel happiness
