यस्य चित्तं द्रवीभूतं कृपया सर्वजन्तुषु ।

तस्य ज्ञानेन मोक्षेण किं जटाभस्मलेपनैः ॥ ३१

Yasya chittam dravIbhUtaM kRupayaa sarvajantushu |

Taysa jnanena mokshena kim jatabhasmalepanaih ||

For one who is moved by kindness towards all living beings,

What use is there of unkempt hairlocks and smearing of ash for knowledge and self-realisation?

शैले शैले न माणिक्यं मौक्तिकं न गजे गजे ।
साधवो न हि सर्वत्र चन्दनं न वने वने ।। ३२

Shaile shaile na manikyam mauktikam na gaje gaje |

Sadhavo na hi sarvatra chandanam na vane vane ||

No gems on every mountain, no pearls on every elephant

Saints are not everywhere, no sandal in every forest

चिन्तनीया हि विपदमादावेव प्रतिक्रिया ।

न कूपखननण् युक्तं प्रदीप्ते वह्निना गृहे ॥ ३३

Chintaniya hi vipadamadaveva pratikriya |

Na kupakhananam yuktam pradIpte vahninaa gruhe ||

One has to think of reactions to calamities well in advance

No use starting to dig a well when the house is on fire.

पठन्ति चतुरो वेदान् धर्मशास्त्राण्यनेकशः ।
आत्मानं नैव जानन्ति दवी पाकरसं यथा ।। ३४

Patthanti chaturo vedan dharmashastranyanekashah |

Atmanam naiva jananti darvI pakarasam yatha ||

Clever people read Vedas and scriptures to many people.

They are themselves unaware just like the spoon serving the soup not knowing its taste.

अनंत शास्त्रं बहुलाश्च विद्याः अल्पश्च कालो बहुविघ्नता च ।
यत्सारभूतम् तदुपासनीयम् यथा हंसो क्षीरमिवांबु मध्यात।। ३५

Ananta shastram bahulashcha vidya alpashcha kalo bahuvighnata cha |

Yatsarabhutam tadupasaniyam yatha hamso kshiramivambu madhyat ||

Infinite books, a lot to learn, very little time and many obstacles,

Study those with essence only, just like the swan which separates milk from water.
