अटनेन महारण्ये सुपन्थाः जायते शनैः  
वेदाभ्यासात् तथा ज्ञानं तथा पर्वतलङ्घणम् ॥ ४७१

Atanena maharanye supanthah jayate shanaih
Vedabhyasat tatha jnanam shanaih parvatalanghanam

By wandering in the forest, a path is formed gradually. A mountain is climbed
gradually, so is knowledge acquired gradually by studying Vedas.

लोकयात्रा भयं लज्जा दाक्षिण्यं दर्मशीलता ॥ ४७२

Pancha yatra na vidyante na kuryattatra samsthitim
Lokayatra bhayam lajja dakshinyam dharmashilata

One should not stay in a place where the following five are not found.
Subsistence, fear, modesty, politeness and righteousness.

क्षते प्रहाराः निपतन्त्यभीक्ष्णं धनक्षये वर्धति जाठराग्निः
आपत्सु वैराणि समुद्भवन्ति छिद्रेष्वनर्थाः बहुलीभवन्ति ४७३

Kshate praharah nipatantyabhIkshanam dhanakshaye vardhati jataragnih 
Apatsu vairani samudbhavanti chidreShvanarthah bahulibhavanti 

Blows fall on a wound repeatedly.Hunger becomes acute during poverty.
Enmities grow during difficulties.Mishaps are followed by a number of disasters.

धर्मेण पापमपनुदति धर्मे सर्वं प्रतिष्ठितं तस्माद् धर्मं परमं वदन्ति ॥ ४७४

Dharmo vishvasya jagatah pratishtha loke dharmishtham praja upasarpanti
Dharmena papamapanudati dharme sarvam pratishthitam tasmad dharmam paramam vadanti

Dharma is the mainstay in the world, people approach those following Dharma.
With Dharma you drive away sin, everything depends on Dharma, so, Dharma is said to be supreme.

आदौ चित्ते ततः काये  सतां सञ्जायते जरा ।
असतां च पुनः काये  नैव चित्ते कदाचन ॥  ४७

Adau chitte tatah kaye satam sanjayate jara
Asatam cha punah kaye naiva chitte kadachana


In the case of virtuous people, maturity sets first in mind and ageing in the body later. Conversely, the body of false people keeps ageing but their mind never matures.
