The recipe for peaceful and comfortable existence as given by a subhashitam attributed to Panchatantra.

It would be good for health and wellbeing that one just does not take food that is disagreeable to his stomach. It would be best to pluck away up to the root a tooth that is shaky. Moreover, the best way to deal with a wicked minister is to throw him out of his position and drive him away to obscurity from where he will never return.
