विद्यां वित्तं शिल्पं तावन्नाप्नोति मानवः सम्यक् ।
यावद् व्रजति न भूमौ देशाद् देशान्तरं हृष्टः ॥ ५४६

Vidyam vittam shilpam tavannapnoti manavah samyak
Yavad vrajati na bhumau deshad deshantaram hrushtah

A man will not attain proper education, wealth, knowledge of fine arts
until he travels from country to countries of the world.

एकवस्तुम् द्विधा कर्तुम् बहव: सन्ति धन्विन: ।
धन्वी स मार एवैको द्वयो: ऐक्य: करोति य: ॥ ५४

Ekavastum dvidhaa kartum bahava: santi dhanvina:
DhanvI sa mara evaiko dvayo: aikya: karoti ya:

There are many archers who can split one thing into two. But there
is only one archer, Manmatha, who unites two into one.

न धनी न बली नापि शूरो न गुणवानपि ।
तथा भाति यथा वक्ता सभायां पिकवद्वने ॥ ५४८

Na dhani na bali na shuro na gunavanapi
Tatha bhati yatha vakta sabhayam pikavadvane

Not rich, not strong, not brave, not even virtuous, a person who
can talk will shine in assemblies like a nightingale in the forest 

अपक्वे तु घटे नीरे चालन्यां सूक्ष्म पिष्टकम् ।
स्त्रीणां च हृदयं वार्ता न तिष्ठति कदापि हि ॥ ५४९

Apakve tu ghate nire chalanyam sukshma pishtakam
Strinam cha hrudaye varta na tishtati kadapi hi

Water kept in a raw unfired pot, fine flour in a sieve, news
Women’s hearts will not remain there for long.

मान्त्रिकास्तु भविष्यामो योगिनो यतियोऽपि वा ॥ ५५०

Yadi na kva api vidyayam sarvathakramate matih
Mantrikastu bhavishyamo yogino yatiyo api va

If for some reason my intellect does not help me get educated,
I will, in future become a magician, yogi or a saint.
