āYo pahaį¹į¹hena cittena, He whose heart is well-forged, A man discovers a large lump of gold, but must break it into four to make it useful. | The verse is almost identical with the previous, only differing in the key term.
pahaį¹į¹hamanaso naro; a man of cheerful mind, As with the previous verse, the key term pahaį¹į¹ha rests on both the story and a dual meaning. Pahaį¹į¹ha normally has the sense ācheerfulā (āhaį¹s), but the commentary connects it rather with gold that has been forged (āghaį¹s) until it is luminous and radiant.
