परिश्रमो मिताहारः भेषजे सुलभे मम ।

नित्यं ते सेवमानस्य व्याधिर्भ्यो नास्ति ते भयम् ॥ ६७६

Nityam te sevamanasya vyadhirbhyo nasti te bhayam ॥

नोदकक्लिन्नगात्रस्तु स्नात इत्यभिधीयते ।

स स्नातो यो दमस्रातः सबाह्याभ्यन्तरं शुचिः ॥ ६७९

Sa snato yo damasnatah sabahyabhyantaram shuchih ॥

 

Just wetting one’s body with water does not make a bath. One has bathed fully when one has bathed from head to toe, controlled senses and becomes pure internally and externally.

व्याधिस्तस्योषधं मित्रं धर्मो मित्रं मृतस्य च ॥ ६८०

 

Vidya mitram pravaseshu bharya mitram gruheshu cha ।

Vyadhistasyoshadham mitram dharmo mitram mrutasya cha ॥

 

Knowledge is a friend during travels, wife is a friend at home

Medicine is a friend during illness, Dharma is a friend even after death.
