अधः पश्यति किम्बाले तवकिम्पतितम् भुवि ।

रे रे मूढ नजानासि गतम् तारुण्यमौक्तिकम् ॥ ३८५

Adhah pashyati kimbale tavakimpatitam bhuvi ।

Re re mudha najanasi gatam tarunyamauktikam ॥

Why do you look down, O, girl, what have you dropped on the ground?

You, stupid girl, do not know that the pearl of youth is long gone.

आयुः कर्मं च वित्तं च विद्या निधनमेव च ।

पञ्चैतान्यपि सृज्यन्ते गर्भस्थस्यैव देहिनः ॥ ३८६

Ayuh karmam cha vittam cha vidya nidhanameva ।

Panchaitanyapi srujyante garbhasthasyaiva dehinah ॥

Longevity, actions taken, money earned, education and death, these five

are determined for a person even at the time of being in the womb.

अवश्यं भाविनो भावा भवन्ति महतामपि ।

नग्नत्वं नीलकण्टस्य महाहिशयनं हरेः ॥ ३८७

Avashyam bhavino bhava bhavanti mahatamapi ।

Nagnatvam nilakantasya mahahishayanam hareh ॥

What is destined to happen will happen even in the case of the great.

Like the nakedness of Shiva and Vishnu having to sleep on a great snake.

मूर्खोऽपि शोभते तावत्सभायां वस्त्रवेष्टितः  ।

तावच्च शोभते मूर्खो यावत्किंचिन्न भाषते ॥ ३८८

Murkho api shobhate tavatsabhayam vastraveshtitah ।

Tavaccha shobhate murkho yavatkinchinna bhashate ॥

Even a fool dressed in all finery will shine in an assembly.

But he will shine till such time he opens his mouth to speak.

न दैवमपि संचिन्त्य त्यजेदुद्योगमात्मनः ।

अनुद्योगेन तैलानि तिलेभ्यो नाप्नुमर्हति ॥ ३८९

Na daivamapi samchintya tyajedudyogamatmanah ।

Anudyogena tailani tilebhyo napnumarhati

Even believing in fate, one should not give up one’s efforts.

One cannot extract oil from sesame seeds without efforts.

नाद्रव्ये निहिता काचित्क्रिया फलवती भवेत् ।

न व्यापारशतेनापि शुकवत्पाठ्यते बकः ॥ ३९०

Nadravye nihita kachitkriya phalavati bhavet ।

Na vyaparashatenapi shukavatpathyate bakah ॥

No action exercised on an unfit object will bear fruit.

Even with a hundred attempts a crane cannot be made to speak like a parrot.
