प्रिय वाक्य  प्रदानेन सर्वे तुष्यन्ति जन्तव : ।
तस्मात् तदेव वक्तव्यं वचने किं दरिद्रता ॥ २१

Why then, there is such a poverty of sweet words spoken?

श्रूयतां धर्मसर्वस्वं श्रुत्वा चैवावधार्यताम् ।
आत्मनः प्रतिकूलानि परेषां न समाचरेत् ॥ २२

Shruyatam dharmasarvasvam shrutva chaivavadharyatam |

Atmanah pratikulani paresham na samacharet ||

Listen to the essence of righteous path and absorb after listening.

Do not do to others what goes against your own self.

आयुषः खण्डमादाय रविरस्तमयं गतः ।
अहन्यहनि बोध्दव्यं किमेतेत् सुकृतं कृतम् ।।  २३

Ayushah khandamadaya ravirastamayam gatah |

Ahanyahani bodhdavya kimetat sukrutam krutam ||

The sun sets daily taking away a part of ones longevity

Knowing this one has to reflect on what good deed one has done.

राजवत् पञ्चवर्षाणि दशवर्षाणि दासवत् ।

प्राप्ते तु शोडषेवर्षे पुत्रम् मित्रवादचरेत् ॥ २४

Prapte to shodashevarshe putram mitravadacharet ||

Once he reaches sixteen, treat your son like a friend.

Vidyaya labhate sarvam vidvan sarvatra pujyate.
