शोचन्ति जामयो यत्र विनश्यत्याशु तत्कुलम् ।
यत्रे तास्तु न शोचन्ति ह्यप्रसीदन्तिह वर्धते तद्धि सर्वदा ॥ १६६

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 ॥ १६७

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 ॥ १६८

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 ॥ १६९

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.
