Like crow win "night-owl" on daylight,
king needs apt time to win enemy

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Like the crow win the powerful "night-owl" on the daylight, the king should also chose the right time to win his enemy.

(Likewise…)

Like the ant plans in advance for the severe monsoon, we should also make proper plan to conquer the senility.
