तृणात् लघुतरः तूलः, तूलादपि च याचकः।
वायुना किं न नीतोऽसौ? ‘माम् अयं प्रार्थयेत्’ इति॥
tṛṇāt laghutaraḥ tūlaḥ, tūlādapi ca yācakaḥ।
vāyunā kiṃ na nīto’sau? ‘mām ayaṃ prārthayet’ iti॥
Cotton is lighter than grass. A needy person is considered to be lighter than cotton. So, how is the mercy person not blown away by the wind? (This is because the wind believes that the needy person might ask for anything from it).
तृण (घास) से रूई छोटी और हलकी होती है। रूई से याचक (मांगनेवाला) अधिक हलका होता है। फिर याचक को हवा कयों नहीं उडाती है? (हवा को मन में डर लगता है कि यह याचक मुझसे कुछ भी मांग सकता है।)
