पृथिवी रत्नसम्पूर्णा हिरण्यं पशवः स्त्रियः ।
नालमेकस्य तत्सर्वमिति मत्वा शमं व्रजेत् ॥ ३३

Pruthivi ratnasampurna hiranyam pashavah striyah
Nalamekasya tatsarvamiti matva shamam vrajet

If the earth rich in jewels, gold, animals and women are not enough
for one, one should disregard all these and adopt peace & forbearance

न जात्या ब्राह्मणश्चात्र क्षत्रियो वैश्य एव न ।
न शूद्रो न च वै म्लेच्छो भेदिता गुणकर्मिभिः ॥ ३३

Na jatya brahmanashchatra kshatriyo vaishya eva na
Na shudro na cha vai mleccho bhedita gunakarmibhih

There is no brahmin, kshatriya, vaishya, shudra or foreigner by birth.
All distinctions are based on values and actions of persons

जन्मना जायते शूद्रः संस्कारात् द्विज उच्यते ।
शापानुग्रहसामर्थ्यं तथा क्रोध प्रसन्नता ॥ ३३३

Janmana jayate shudrah samskarat dvija uchyate
Shapanugrahasamarthyam tatha krodha prasannata

By birth a Shudra, becomes a twice born(brahmin) due to sacraments.
The abilities to curse, bless, have capability and pleasantness are also acquired.

मान्यः कुलीनः कुलजात्कलावान् विद्वान् कलाज्ञाद् विदुषः सुशीलः ।

धनी सुशीलाद्धनिनोऽपि दाता दातुर्जीता कीर्तिर्याचकेन ॥ ३३


Manyah kulinah kulatkalavan vidvan kalajnad vidushah sushilah
Dhani sushiladdhanino api data daturjita kirtiyachakena

A well born one is worthy of respect, more than him is an artist, a scholar is higher, even higher is one with good conduct, a philanthropist even higher but above all is one who has never asked for anything from anyone.

न ह्येकः साधको हेतुं स्वल्पस्यपीह कर्मणः ।

यो ह्यर्थं बहुधा वैद स समर्थोऽर्थसाधने ॥ ३३

Na hyekah sadhako hetum svalpasyapiha karmanah

Yo hyartham bahudha vaida sa samartho arthasadhane

There is not one single resource for accomplishing even a simple task.
He who uses a multitude of ways will be in a position to succeed in his tasks
