देहिनोऽस्मिन्यथा देहे कौमारं यौवनं जरा 
तथा देहान्तरप्राप्तिर्धीरस्तत्र न मुह्यति ५६६

dehinosminyatha dehe kaumaram yauvanam jara 
tatha dehantarapraptirdhIrastatra na muhyati

One sees one’s body go through stages like childhood, youth and old age and
then on to death and a new body. The brave one accepts this and does not grieve.

जनकश्चोपनेता च यश्च विद्यां प्रयच्चति ।
अन्नदाता भयत्राता पञ्चैते पितरः स्मृता ॥ ५६७

Janakashchopaneta ya yashcha vidyam prayachchati
Annadata bhayatrata panchaite pitarah smruta

One who gives birth, one who initiates, one who educates, one who provides food and one who protects from fear are the five considered akin to a father.

लोके सुखं परजनाय हितोपदेशः ।
तद्वत्समाचरणमेव परन्तु दुःखम् ॥ ५६८

Loke sukham parajanaya hitopadeshah
Tadvatsamacharanameva parantu dukham

In this world, giving advice to others on being wise is
easy, but to follow one’s own advice is very difficult.

परभाग्योपजीवी च षडेते नित्य दुःखिता ॥ ५६९

Eershi ghruni na santushtah krodhino nityashankitah
Parabhagyopajivi cha shadete nitya dukhitah

An envious person, an abusive person, a discontented person, an angry person, a suspicious person, one who is dependent on others: these six types will always be unhappy.

अनाहूतः प्रविशति अपृष्टो बहु भाषते ।
अविश्वस्ते विश्वसति मूढचेता नराधमः ॥ ५७०

Anahutah pravishati aprushto bahu bhashate
Avishvaste vishvasati mudhacheta naradhamah

One who barges in without being invited, talks a lot without being
asked, trusts untrustworthy people, is a foolish and lowly person.
