पर्यट्य पृथिवीं सर्वां स्थानं पश्यामि तन्नहि ।
यस्मिन्नव्यापते भ्राता जननी जनकोऽपि वा ॥ ५८१

Paryatya pruthivim sarvam sthanam pashyami tannahi ।
Yasminnavyapate bhrata janani janako api va ॥

Having wandered all over the world, I could not find that place
where one could find a brother, mother or father.

अन्तर्गतमलो दुष्टस्तीर्थस्नानशतैरपि ।
न शुष्यति यथा भाण्डं सुराया दाहितं च सत् ॥ ५८२

Antargatamalo dushtastirthasnanashatairapi ।
Na shushyati yatha bhandam suraya dahitam cha sat ॥

Evil thoughts in the mind of a wicked person cannot be washed away even with a hundred baths in pilgrimage centres, just as liquor in a pot cannot be purified by heating it.

न हीदृशं संवननं त्रिषु लोकेषु विद्यते ।
दया मैत्री च भूतेषु दानं च मधुरा च वाक् ॥  ५८३

Na heedrusham samvananam trishu lokeshu vidyate ।
Daya maitri cha bhuteshu danam cha madhura cha vak ॥


One cannot find better qualities in three worlds than these -
compassion, friendship, charity towards all and sweet words.

पुष्पे गन्धं तिले तैलं काष्टेऽग्निं पयसिघृतम् ।
इक्षौ गुडं तथा देहे पश्यात्मानं विवेकतः ॥ ५८४

Pushpe gandham tile tailam kashte agnim payasighrutam ।
Ikshau gudam tatha dehe pashyatmanam vivekatah ॥

Fragrance in flowers, oil in sesame seeds, fire in wood, ghee in milk,
jaggery in sugarcane are all qualities to perceive like wisdom in the human body.

भार्यावियोगः सुजनापवादः ऋणस्य शेषं कृपणस्य सेवा ।
दारिद्र्यकाले प्रियदर्शनं च विनाग्निना पञ्च दहन्ति कायम् ॥ ५८५

Bharyaviyogah sujanapavadah runasya shesham krupanasya seva ।
Daridryakale priyadarshanam cha vinagnina pancha dahanti kayam ॥

Separation from wife, censure by good people, remainder of debt, having to serve a miser, visitors during hardship are five things which burn one’s body without fire.
