दृष्टे सुखं च दुःखं च
प्रतिच्छायेव दर्पणे ॥ ७२६

He is a real friend in whom
both one’s happiness and sadness are
seen as soon as he is seen,
just like a reflection in the mirror.

When fearful or happy
occasion arises, one who ponders over
and does not react in haste
will have nothing to regret.

A wicked person sees faults in
others the size of a mustard seed.
However, he does not see his
own faults even if they are size of a bilva fruit.

poor though they may not wish it.
Well-to-do seem to have none.
Strange is the course of destiny.

क्रोधः प्रभवति लोभात् कामः प्रजायते ।
लोभात् मोहश्च नाशश्च लोभः पापस्य कारणम् ॥ ७३०

prajayate ।
Lobhat mohashcha nashashcha lobhah papasya karanam
॥
From greed originates anger; greed gives rise
to lust,
from greed come attachment and ruin, greed is
the cause for sin.
