मृतो मृत्युर्जरा जीर्णा विपन्नाः किं विपत्तयः ।
व्याधयो व्याधिताः किं नु दृप्यन्ति यदमी जनाः ॥ ४३६ 
Mruto mrutyrjara jirna vipannah kim vipattayah  
Vyadhayo vyadhitah kim nu drupyanti yadami janah  
Is it that death has died, old age has become old, calamities have met with calamities, diseases have suffered disease that people get puffed with pride? 
कान्ताकटाक्षविशिखा न दहन्ति यस्य
चित्तं न निर्दहति कोपकृशानुतापः ।
कर्षन्ति भूरिविषयाश्च न लोभपाशौ
लोकत्रयं जयति कृत्सनमिदं स धीरः ॥ ४३७ 
Kantakatakshavishikha na dahanti yasya
Chittam na nirdahati kopakrushanutapah |
Karshanti bhurivashayashcha na lobhapashau
Loksatrayam jayati krutsnamidam sa dheerah ||

One who is not pierced by the arrows of female glances
nor burnt with scorching heat of anger
nor gets dragged into sensual worldly pleasures
conquers all the three worlds. 
कुभार्यां च कुपुत्रं च कुराजानं कुसौहृदम् ।
कुसम्बन्धं कुदेशं च दूरतः परिवर्जयेत् ॥ ४३८ 
Kubharyam cha kuputram cha kurajanam kusauhrudam
Kusambandham kudesham cha duratah parivarjayet  
Disregard from a distance a bad wife, bad son, bad kings,
bad friends, bad relations and a bad country.
दाता नीचोSपि सेव्यः स्यान्निष्फलो न महानपि
जलाSर्थी वारिधिं त्यक्त्वा पश्य कूप निषेवते ॥ ४३ 
Data neecho api sevyah syannishphalo na mahanapi 
Jalarthee varidhim tyaktwaa pashya koopa nishevate
 
Accept timely help even if the giver is lowly and not a useless thing from a high born.A thirsty person looks for a well to quench his thirst and not the sea. 
जयेत् कदर्यं दानेन सत्येनानृतवादिनम् ।
क्षमया क्रूरकर्मणमसाधुं साधूना जयेत् ॥ ४४० 
Jayet kadaryam danena satyenanrutavadinam
Kshamaya krurakarmanasadhum sadhuna jayet  
Win over a miser with gifts, a liar by truth, a cruel one with compassion,
a bad person by goodness.
