यदेवोपनतं दुःखात् सुखं तद्रसवतरम् ।

निर्वाणाय तरुच्छाया तप्तस्य हि विशेषतः ॥ ६९१

 

Yadopatanatam dukhat sukham tadasavataram ।

Nirvanaya taruchchaya taptasya hi visheshatah ॥

 

Happiness after suffering sorrow is more pleasing. The shadow

of a tree is more comforting to one who has been scorched by heat.

 

दृष्टिपूतं न्यसेत्पादं वस्त्रपूतं जलं पिबेत् ।

सत्यपूतां वदेद्वाणीं मनःपूतं समाचरेत् ॥ ६९२

 

Drushtiputam nyasetpadam vastraputam jalam pibet ।

Satyaputam vadedvanim manahputam samacharet ॥

 

Put your foot forward after cleared by sight, drink water which is filtered,

speak words cleared by truth and conduct yourself with a clear conscience.

 

सा श्रीर्या न मदं कुर्यात्स सुखी तृष्णयोज्झितः ।

तन्मित्रं यत्र विश्वासः पुरुषः स जितेंद्रियः ॥ ६९३

 

Sa shrirya na madam kuryatsa sukhi trushnayojhitah ।

Tanmitram yatra vishvasah purushah sa jitendriyah ॥

Wealth is that which does not intoxicate, happy is one who is without desires,

Friend is one who is trustworthy, a man is one who controls his senses.

 

द्रव्यज्वरातुराणां तु शान्तये नौषधादयापि ।

नहि वृष्टिशतेनापि पाषाणादङ्कुरोदयः ॥ ६९४

 

Dravyajvaraturanam tu shantaye naushadhadayapi ।

Nahi vrushtishatenapi pashanadankurodayah ॥

 

For people suffering from fever of earning wealth, there are no medicines to 

cure.Even if there are hundred rains, a seed cannot sprout a plant on a stone.

 

वलिभिर्मुखमाक्रान्तं पलितैरङ्कितं शिरः ।

गात्राणि शिथिलायन्ते तृष्णैका तरुणायते ॥ ६९५

 

Valibhirmukhamakrantam palitairankitam shirah |

Gatrani shithilayante trushnaika tarunayate ||

 

When one ages, there are wrinkles on the face, hairs on the head turn grey,

Limbs become weak and unsteady, only desire keeps getting younger.
