15. கோடரியானது தன்னால் வெட்டுகிறவனுக்கு விரோதமாய் மேன்மைபாராட்டலாமோ? வாளானது தன்னைக் கையாடுகிறவனுக்கு விரோதமாய்ப் பெருமைபாராட்டலாமோ? பாராட்டினால், தடியானது தன்னைப் பிடித்தவனை மிரட்டினாற்போலவும், கோலானது நான் மரக்கட்டையல்லவென்று எழும்பினாற்போலவும் இருக்குமே.

ERVTA
15. ஒரு கோடரி அதைப் பயன்படுத்தி வெட்டுகிற வனைவிடச் சிறந்ததல்ல. அரிவாளானது அதை வைத்திருப்பவனைவிடச் சிறந்ததல்ல. ஆனால் அசீரியாவோ தன்னைத் தேவனைவிட முக்கிய மானதாகவும் பெலமுடையதாகவும் நினைக்கிறது. தடியானது தன்னைப் பயன்படுத்தி தண்டிப்பவனைவிட பெலமுள்ளதாகவும், முக்கியமானதாகவும் நினைப்பது போன்றதாகும்.

15. கோடரியானது தன்னால் வெட்டுகிறவனுக்கு விரோதமாக மேன்மைபாராட்டலாமோ? வாளானது தன்னைப் பயன்படுத்துகிறவனுக்கு விரோதமாகப் பெருமைபாராட்டலாமோ? பாராட்டினால், தடியானது தன்னைப் பிடித்தவனை மிரட்டினாற்போலவும், கோலானது நான் மரக்கட்டையல்லவென்று எழும்பினதுபோலவும் இருக்குமே.

ECTA
15. வெட்டப் பயன்படுத்துகிறவனுக்கு மேலாகக் கோடரி தன்னை மேன்மை பாராட்டுவதுண்டோ? அறுப்பவனைவிடத் தன்னைச் சிறப்புமிக்கதாக வாள் கருத இயலுமோ? தன்னை தூக்கியவனைச் சுழற்றி வீச கைத்தடியால் கூடுமோ? மரம் அல்லாத மனிதனைத் தூக்க மரத்தால் ஆன கோலால் இயலுமோ?

RCTA
15. பிளப்பவனுக்கும் மேலாகக் கோடரி பெருமை கொள்வதுண்டோ? அறுப்பவனுக்கு எதிராக வாள் மேன்மை பாராட்டுமோ? தன்னைத் தூக்கியவனைக் கைத்தடி சுழற்றியது போலும், மரமல்லாத மனிதனை மரக்கோலானது தூக்கியது போலுமாகும்!

OCVTA
15. கோடரி தன்னைத் தூக்குபவனைவிட மேலானதோ? வாள் தன்னை உபயோகிக்கிறவனுக்கு மேலாகத் தற்பெருமை கொள்ளுமோ? அப்படியானால், வீசி அடிப்பதற்காக ஒருவன் ஒரு தடியை எடுக்க, அந்தத் தடியோ தன்னை எடுத்தவனையே தூக்கி சுழற்றுவதுபோல் இருக்குமே. மரத்தாலான தண்டாயுதம், தானாகவே எழுந்து நின்று, மரமல்லாத மனிதனைத் தூக்கி சுழற்றுவதுபோல் இருக்குமே.
