The merchant said : �This very thought has occured to me, just as you have uttered it. What can I do ? My mind does not become hard; it bears deep affection to those very persons who have driven me out in their greed for wealth, abandoning love for a father and attachment to one�s master and kinsmen. I do not comprehend although. I know it, O noble-hearted king, how it is that the mind is prone to love even towards worthless kinsmen. On account of them I have heavy sighs and feel dejected. What can I do since my mind does not become hard towards those unloving ones ?

Rajovach II 39 II
English Meaning:
The King said : �Sir, I wish to ask you one thing. Be pleased to reply to it. Without the control of my intellect, my mind is afflicted with sorrow. Though I have lost the kingdom, like an ignorant man�though I know it�I have an attachment to all the paraphernalia of my kingdom. How is this, O best of sages ? And this merchant has been disowned by his children, wife and servants, and forsaken by his own people; still he is inordinately affectionate towards them. Thus both he and I, drawn by attachment towards objects whose defects we do know, are exceedingly unhappy. How this happens, then, sir, that though we are aware of it, this delusion comes ? This delusion besets me as well as him, blinded as we are in respect of discrimination.�

The Rsi said : Sir, every being has the knowledge of objects perceivable by the senses. An object of sense reaches it in various ways. Some beings are blind by day, and others are blind by night; some beings have equal sight both by day and night. Human beings are certainly endowed with knowledge, but they are not the only beings (to be so endowed) for cattle, birds, animals and other creatures also cognize (objects of senses).
