काल: कानि मित्राणि को देश: को व्ययागमौ |
कस्याहं का च मे शक्ति: इति चिन्त्यं मुहुर्मुहु: ||

"How is situation around me (i.e. is it favourable or not)? who are (my) friends? how is condition in the country? what are the things for and against me (or what do I have and what I don't have)? who am I? what are my strengths?" one should always worry about these questions. Subhashitkar is suggesting us that we must be always alert and consider all this prior to any action.
