अल्पानामपि वस्तूनाम् संहतिः कार्य साधिका।
तृणैर्गुणत्वमापन्नैर्बद्यन्ते मत्तदन्तिनः॥
alpānāmapi vastūnām saṁhatiḥ kārya sādhikā|
tṛṇairguṇatvamāpannairbadyante mattadantinaḥ||
Even in the case of the most insignificant and individually weak objects, they can become very strong and effective in getting things done when they are stacked together in large numbers.
A piece of grass is rather insignificant when it is just a single strand. But if many ears of grass are put together to make strong ropes, such ropes could be used even to restrain and keep in captivity the worst of elephants even when the huge animals are violent and are in rut..
