विकृतिं नैव गच्छन्ति सङ्गदोषेण साधवः ।

आवेष्टितं महासर्पैश्चन्दनं न विषायते ॥ ६६१

Vikrutim naiva gachchanti sangadoshena sadhavah ।

Aveshtitam mahasarpairshchandanam na vishayate ॥

The virtuous do not get affected by the company of the wicked. Sandalwood

tree does not become poisonous in spite of being surrounded by snakes.

कुर्वन्नपि व्यलीकानि यः प्रियः स प्रिय एव सः ।

अशेषदोषदुष्टोऽपि कायः कस्य न वल्लभः ॥ ६६२

Kurvannapi vyalikani yah priyah sa Priya eva sah |

Asheshadoshadushto api kayah kasya na vallabhah ||

Even having done unpleasant things, a loved one remains a loved one.

Even with a lot of defects, who does not love one’s own body?

आशाया ये दासास्ते दासाः सर्वलोकस्य ।

आशा येषां दासी तेषां दासायते लोकः ॥ ६६३

ashaya ye dasaste dasah sarvalokasya ।

asha yesham dasI tesham dasayate lokah ॥

People who are servants of desires are servants of the whole world.

For those to whom desire is a servant, the whole world is a servant.

शमार्थं सर्वशास्त्राणि विहितानि मनीषिभिः ।

स एव सर्वशास्त्रज्ञः यस्य शान्तं मनस्सदा ॥ ६६४

Shamartham sarvashastrajnah vihitani manishibhih ।

Sa eva sarvashastrajnah yasya shantam manassada ॥

All scriptures preach that peace should be the goal of all people.

One whose mind is always peaceful is considered a pandit of all scriptures.

क्व सूर्यप्रभवो वंशः क्व चाल्पविषया मतिः ।

तितीर्षुर्दुस्तरं मोहदुडुपेनास्मि सागरम् ॥ ६६५

Kva suryaprabhavo vamshah kva chalpavishaya matih |

Titirshurdustaram mohadudupenasmi sagaram ||

How great the Sun-influenced race, how small my mind with such little knowledge. I am foolishly desirous of crossing the difficult to cross ocean.
