A Reconstructed Tocharian Reading

Translation

A 1 — a

The energetic one sends good renown in all directions. By effort one receives honor, overcomes enemies, wins prosperity, and becomes useful to others. A human life without zeal falls into sleep; a human life joined to wisdom becomes a field of merit.

A 2 — b

But energy alone is not enough. Skill can be bent by desire. Beauty can stir the mind; passion can break what skill has made; shame can follow where restraint was absent. Strength without wisdom becomes a weapon against the one who holds it.

A 3 — c

So the story remembers painter, woman, king, and city; it remembers Daśagrīva and Laṅkā, and the army of Rāma gathered against proud power. The strong one who does not govern himself becomes a danger to beings and a ruin to his own house.

A 4 — d

Therefore let effort serve wisdom. Let reputation be joined to generosity, victory to restraint, prosperity to right conduct, and human excellence to compassion. Energy becomes merit only when the heart is trained.
