शोचन्ति जामयो यत्र विनश्यत्याशु तत्कुलम् ।
यत्रे तास्तु न शोचन्ति ह्यप्रसीदन्तिह वर्धते तद्धि सर्वदा ॥ ६६

Shochanti jamayo yatra vinashyatyashu tatkulam
Yatre tastu shochanti hyaprasIdantiha tatkulam

The family where womenfolk are suffering is sure to meet its destruction.
But the family where they do not grieve will always prosper.

उहापोहोर्थ विज्ञानं तत्वज्ञानं च धीगुणाः ॥

Shushrusha shravanam chaiva grahanam dharanam tatha
Uhapohortha vijnanam tatvajnanam cha dhigunah

Caring, willingness to listen, grasping power and concentration, awareness
And knowledge of philosophy are the qualities of an intellectual.

द्वयक्षरस् तु भवेत् मृत्युर् त्रयक्षरमं ब्रह्म शाश्वतम् ।
मम इति च भवेत् मृत्युर् नमम इति च शास्वतम् ॥

Dvayaksharam tu bhavet mrutyur trayaksharam brahma shashvatam
Mama iti cha bhavet mrutyur namama iti cha shashvatam

In Sanskrit, death is a two letter word, brahma is three lettered.
Mine(mama) can lead one to death while not mine(namama) will lead one to the supreme.

यथा धेनु सहस्रेषु वत्सो गच्छति मातरम् ।
तथा यच्च कृतं कर्म कर्तारमनुगच्छति ॥

Yatha dhenu sahasreshu vatso gacchati mataram
Tatha yaccha krutam karma kartaramanugacchati

Just as a calf can find its mother among a thousand cows,
The effects of one’s deeds will follow the perpetrator.

यो यमर्थं प्रार्थयते यदर्थं घटतेऽपि च ।
अवश्यं तदवाप्नोति न चेच्छ्रान्तो निवर्तते ॥ १७०

Yo yamartham prarthayate yadartham ghatate api cha
Avashyam tadavapnoti na chechchranto nivartate

If a person wants something and makes efforts to achieve it (without getting overwhelmed in the process) then no doubt he/she will get it.
