आतुरा परितावेंति
Impatient gives sorrow
An owl cannot see in the day and the crow in the night; but a sensual man is such an astonishing blind person that he sees neither in the day nor in the night. Completely overlooking fear, shame, humility etc., he is ever on the lookout for objects of sense gratification. He troubles all those who stand in between his pleasure seeking ways and gets himself troubled. Such is the consequence of impatience.
