Moving on to Part 7 of Panchatantra Punches:
31. Whatever a fellow desires, sees, hears, or does in broad daylight, haunts him in his sleep.
32. Whatever secret a man keeps hidden in his bosom, he gives it away when he is in drunk or talks in his sleep.
33. A woman is true only when she has no chance, no dark corner and no man to entice. The idiot who thinks that his lover truly loves him is like a tame bird, always in the woman's power.
34. Whom does not fortune render proud, and whom does not death lay low - whoever has heard indeed a truthful word from a gambler or a king who keeps a friendship permanently.
35. No matter how foolish low or idiotic a king's servant might be, he will act with a vengeance when his honor has been dented.
