यदा किंचिज्ज्ञोहं द्विप इव मदान्धः सम्भवम् | 
तदा सर्वज्ञो अस्मित्यमभवदलिप्तं मम मनः||
यदा किंचित बुधजनसकाशात अवगतम् |
सदा मुर्खोअस्मिति ज्वर इव मदो में व्यपगतः || ४१

Yada kinchittajnoham dvipa iva madandhah sambhavam |
Tada sarvajno asmityamabhavadaliptam mama manah ||
Yada kinchit budhajanasakashat avagatam |
Sada murkhoasmiti jvara iva me vyagatah ||

When I became a little knowledgeable, I became arrogant like an elephant in heat. But when I moved with intelligent people, I realized what a fool I was and my arrogance came down like a fever which is treated.

शतेषु जायते शूरः सहस्त्रेषु च पंडितः |
वक्ता दशसहस्त्रेशु दाता भवति वा न वा || ४२

Shateshu jayate shurah sahasreshu cha panditah |
Vakta dashasahasreshu data bhavati va na va ||

One in hundred is born a hero, one in thousand a scholar.
A good orator one in ten thousand, but a generous giver may or may not be born.

साहित्यसंगीतकलाविहीन: साक्षात् पशुपुच्छविषाणविहीन:
तृणं न खादन्नपि जीवमान: तद्भागदेयं परम पशुनाम् || ४३

Sahityasangitakalavihinah sakshat pashupucchavishanavihinah |
Trunam na khadannapi jivamanah tadbhagdeyam parama pashunam ||

One who is devoid of literature, music and the arts is like an animal without a tail and horns. The fact that such a person does not eat grass makes the animals fortunate.

उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत् 
आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः ॥ ४४

Uddharedatmanatmanam natmanamavasadayet |
Atmaiva hyatmanau bandhuratmaiva ripuratmanah ||

Elevate your soul with your mind, do not degrade it.
Mind is the friend of the soul and mind is its enemy.

अग्निशेषं रुणशेषं शत्रुशेषं तथैव च ।
पुनः पुनः प्रवर्धेत तस्मात् सेषं न कारयेत् ॥ ४५

Agnishesham runashesham satrushesham tathaiva cha |
Punah punah pravardheta tasmat shesham na karayet ||

Even small remainders of fire, loan and enmity etc.,keep growing     
again and again. Therefore, do not let any remnants of such things remain.
