Sharngadhara Paddhati
खद्योतो द्योतते तावद् यावन्नोदयते शशी। उदिते तु सहस्रांशौ न खद्योतो न चन्द्रमाः॥
khadyoto dyotate tāvad yāvannodayate śaśī। udite tu sahasrāṃśau na khadyoto na candramāḥ॥
A firefly shines until the moon rises; sunrise then outshines both. The verse depicts how greater radiance eclipses lesser light.

Sharngadhara Paddhati
प्रथमवयसि पीतं तोयमल्पं स्मरन्तः शिरसि निहितभारा नारिकेला नराणाम्। ददति जलमनल्पास्वादमाजीवितान्तं न हि कृतमुपकारं साधवो विस्मरन्ति॥
prathamavayasi pītaṃ toyamalpaṃ smarantaḥ śirasi nihitabhārā nārikelā narāṇām । dadati jalamanalpāsvādamājīvitāntaṃ na hi kṛtamupakāraṃ sādhavo vismaranti ॥
A coconut tree returns the little water received in youth with a lifetime of sweet water, an image of gratitude among good people.
