एकवर्णं यथा दुग्धं भिन्नवर्णासु धेनेषु ।

तथैव धर्मवैचित्र्यं तत्तवमेकं परं स्मृतम् ॥ ५६१

Ekavarnam yatha dugdham bhinnavarnasu dheneshu ।

Tathaiva dharmavaichitryam tattvamekam param smrutam ॥

Just like milk from different cows is of the same colour,

The teaching of different religions is all the same.

श्रूयताम् धर्मसर्वस्वं श्रुत्वा चैवावधार्यताम् ।

आत्मन: प्रतिकूलानि परेषां न समाचरेत् ॥ ५६२

Shruyatam dharmasarvasvam shrutva chaivavadharyatam ।

Atmanah pratikulani paresham na samacharet ॥

Let us listen to what Dharma says and after listening, let us imbibe its essence.

Let us not insist on others following what goes against our own selves.

सर्वाः संपत्तयस्तस्य संतुष्टं यस्य मानसम् ।

उपानद्गूढपादस्य  ननु चर्माऽऽवृतेव भूः ॥ ५६३

Sarvah sampattayastasya santushtam yasya manasam ।

Upanadguddhapadasya nanu charma avruteva bhuh ॥

A person with a contented mind will be content with all sorts of wealth. With

shoes on his feet he will not wish for the whole earth to be covered with leather.

तीर्थानि दीर्घाध्वपरिश्रमाणि बहुव्ययानि क्रतुडंबराणि ।

तपांसि मुक्त्वा तनुशोषणानि हिंसाविरामे रमतां मतिर्वः ॥ ५६४

Teerthani deergadhvaparishramani bahuvyayani kratudambarani ।

Tapamsi muktva tanushoshanani himsavirame ramattam matirvah ॥

To attain Moksha, going on a pilgrimage is long and arduous, performing yajnas is very expensive, doing penance is punishment to the body. Wisemen shun all kinds of violence.

विद्वानेव विज्ञानाति विद्वज्जनपरिश्रमम् ।

न हि वन्ध्या विज्ञानति गुर्वीं प्रसववेदनम् ॥ ५६५

Vidvaneva vijnanati vidvajjanaparishramam ।

Na hi vandhya vijnanati gurvim prasavavedanam ॥

Only learned people can understand the difficulties of scholars.

A barren woman can not understand the troubles of a mother giving birth.
