Verse 328:
If one finds a sagacious friend,
who is a virtuous and steadfast companion,
one should live with him joyfully and mindfully,
overcoming all dangers.

Verse 329:
If one cannot find a sagacious friend,
who is a virtuous and steadfast companion,
one should live alone like the king who gave up and
left the country he had won, and
like the elephant roaming alone in the forest.

Verse 330:
It is better to live alone;
there is no fellowship with a fool.
So one should live alone,
do no evil, and
be carefree like the elephant roaming alone in the forest.
