ये यान्त्यभ्युदये प्रीतिं नज्जहान्ति व्यसनेषु च ।

ते बान्धवास्ते सुहृदो लोके स्वार्थ परोऽपरः ॥ ४४६

Ye yantyabhyudaye pritim najjahanti vyasaneshu cha ।

Te bandhavaste suhrudo loke svartha paro aparah ॥

Those who offer friendship during prosperity and do not desert in adversity

are real relatives and friends in the world, the rest are opportunists.

आलस्यं हि मनुष्याणां शरीरस्थो महान् रिपुः ।

नास्त्युद्यमसमो बन्धुः कुर्वाणो नावसीदति ॥ ४४७

Alasyam hi manushyanam sharirastho mahan ripuh |

Nastyudyamasamo bandhuh kurvano navasidati ||

Laziness is the greatest enemy in a person’s body. There is no friend

comparable to hard work and with it no one will come to grief.

उपायेन जयो यादृक् रिपोस्तादृङ् न हेतिभिः ।

उपायतोऽल्पकायोऽपि न शूरैः परिभूयते ॥ ४४८

Upayena jayo yadruk ripostadruk na hetibhih |

Upayato alpakayobhih na shuraih paribhuyate ||

Victory over an enemy using cleverness is better than using weapons to defeat him.

Even a weak bodied person with clever means cannot be put down by valiant ones.

मनस्येकं वचस्येकं कर्मण्येकं महात्मानाम् ।

मनस्यन्यद् वचस्यन्यत् कर्मण्यन्यद् दुरत्मानाम् ॥ ४४९

Manasyekam vachasyekam karmanyekam mahatmanam ।

Manasyanyad vachasyanyat karmanyanyad duratmanam ॥

Mind, words and deeds are the same for great men

Mind, words and deeds are each different for the ill-minded.

नासतो निर्गतस्यापि श्वासस्य च महामुने ।

प्रवेशे प्रत्ययो नास्ति प्रातरागमनं कुतः ॥ ४५०

Nasato nirgatasyapi shvasasya cha mahamune ।

Praveshe pratyayo nasti prataragamanam kutah ॥

O great sage! When there is no certainty that breath coming out

of the nose would enter it again, where is the certainty that morning would come?
