एकस्य कर्म संवीक्ष्य करोत्यन्योऽपि गर्हितम् ।

गतानुगतिको लोको न लोकः परमार्थिकः ॥ ६६६

Ekasya karma samvikshya karotyanyo api garhitam ।

Gatanugatiko loko na lokah paramarthikah ॥

Observing someone’s wrong actions, others do similar acts. In this world of

imitating others, no one seems to imitate someone doing philanthropic acts.

सदयं हृदयं यस्य भाषितं सत्यभूषितम् ।

कायं परहितं यस्य कलिस्तस्य करोति किम् ॥ ६६७

Sadayam hrudayam yasya bhashitam satyabhushitam ।

Kayam parahitam yasya kalistasya karoti kim ॥

Heart filled with compassion, speech adorned with truth,

Body devoted to others’ good, what can Kali do to such a person?

मर्यादानां नृपो मूलमापगानां यथा नगः ।

अनाचारे स्थिते तस्मिन् लोकस्तत्र प्रवर्तते ॥ ६६८

Maryadanam nrupo mulamapaganam yatha nagah ।

Anachare sthite tasmin lokastatra pravartate ॥

A king is the source of morality just as a mountain is the source of rivers.

If he engages in unrighteous acts, his subjects will do the same.

हर्तुर्न गोचरं याति दत्ता भवति विस्तृता ।

कल्पान्तेऽपि न या नश्येत् किमन्यद्विद्यया विना ॥ ६६९

Harturna gocharam yati datta bhavati vistruta ।

Kalpante api nay a nashyet kimanyadvidyaya vina ॥

Not visible to thieves, becomes larger if given away, does not get

destroyed at the end of Kalpa, what else can it be other than knowledge?

ऋषीणां च नदीनां च कुलानां च महात्मनाम् ।

प्रभवो नाधिगन्तव्यः स्त्रीणां दुश्चरितस्य च ॥ ६७०

Rushinam cha nadinam cha kulanam cha mahatmanam ।

Prabhavo nadhigantavyah strinam dushcharitasya cha ॥

The source of Saints, rivers, lineage of great persons

as well as wicked women should not be probed.
