प्रकीर्णविषयारण्ये धावन्तं विप्रमाथिनम् ।

ज्ञानाङ्कुशेन कुर्वीत वश्यमिन्द्रियदन्तिनम् ॥ ३६५

Prakirnavishayaranye dhavantam vipramathinam ।

Jnanankushena kurvIta vashyamindriyadantinam ॥

Bring under control the agitated elephant of senses strutting about in the sprawling forest of sense-objects with the weapon of knowledge

अपि शाकं पचानस्य सुखं वै मघवन् गृहे ।

अर्जितं स्वेन वीर्येण न व्यपाश्रित्य कञ्चन ॥ ३६६

Api shakam pachanasya sukham vai maghavan gruhe ।

Arjitam svena viryena na vyapashritya kanchana ॥

O Maghavan, the bountiful! Happy is even that one who cooks only leaves earned by his own efforts for food without having to depend on others.

गुणकोट्या तुलाकोटिं यदेकमपि टीकते ।

तदप्यौचित्यमेकान्तलुब्धस्य गरलायते ॥ ३६७

Gunakotya tulakotim yadekamapi tikate ।

Tadapyauchityamekantalubdhasya garalayate ॥

The quality of propriety which is equal to a crore of other qualities appears poison to an absolutely greedy person.

अपूज्या यत्र पूज्यन्ते पूजनीयो न पूज्यते  ।

त्रीणि तत्र प्रवर्तन्ते दुर्भिक्षं मरणं भयम् ॥ ३६८

Apoojya yatra poojyante poojanIyo na poojyate ।

Trini tatra pravartante durbhiksham maranam bhayam ॥

Where the undeserving are worshipped and deserving ones are not

Three things will prevail there – famine. Death and fear.

यदा किञ्चिज्ज्ञोऽहं द्विप इव मदान्ध समभवं

तदा सर्वज्ञोऽस्मीत्यभवद्वलिप्तं मम मनः  ।

यदा किञ्चित्किञ्चिद्बुधजनसकाशादवगतं तदा 

मूर्खोऽस्मीति ज्वर इव मदो मे व्यपगतः ॥ ३६९

Yada kinchtjjno aham dvipa iva madandha samabhavam

tada sarvajno asmitibhavdvliptam mama manah ।

yada kinchitkichidbudhajanasakashadavagatam tada 

murkho asmiti jvara iva mado me vyapagatah ॥

When I gained some knowledge, I behaved like a furious elephant in ruts, considering myself an omniscient being; but now that I have come to learn something from the wise, I have discovered my own ignorance and my conceit went down like fever.

अन्यदीये तृणे रत्ने काञ्चने मौक्तिकेऽपि च ।

मनसो विनिवृत्तिर्या तदस्तेयं विदुर्बुधाः ॥ ३७०

Anyadiye trune ratne mauktike api cha ।

Manaso vinivruttirya tadasteyam vidurbudhah ॥

To turn away the mind from the straw, jewels, gold and pearls belonging to others is interpreted by the wise as asteya, non-stealing.
