 सा धर्मो यो दयायुक्तः सर्वप्राणिहितप्रदः ।

स एवोत्तारेण शक्तो भवाम्भोधेः सुदुस्तरात् ॥ ७०१

 

Sa dharmo yo dayayuktah sarvapranihitapradah |

Sa evottarena shakto bhavambhodhe sudustarat

 

Dharma is that which is compassionate and for the benefit of all beings.

Dharma is that which will enable one to cross the ocean of life with ease.

 

यो ध्रुवाणि परित्यज्य अध्रुवं परिषेवते ।

ध्रुवाणि तस्य नश्यन्ति चाध्रुवं नष्टमेव हि ॥ ७०२


Yo dhruvani parityajya adhruvam parishevate

Dhruvani tasya nashyanti chadhruvam nashtameva hi

 

One who disregards the imperishable and goes after the perishable,

will miss the imperishable and will lose the perishable too.

 

अन्तर्गतं महाशल्यं अस्थैर्यं यदि नोदध्रुतम् ।

क्रियौषदस्य कः दोषः तदा गुणमयच्छतः ॥ ७०३


Antargatam mahashalyam asthairyam yadi nodadhrutah

Kriyoshadsya kah doshah tada gunamayachchatah

 

Till the wavering and fear in the mind is not removed, how can

we blame the medicine if it does not work to cure the disease?

 

निर्गतासु न वा कस्य कालिदासस्य सूक्तिषु ।

प्रीतिर्मधुरसार्द्रासु मन्जरीष्विव जायते ॥ ७०४

 

Nirgatasu na va kasya kalidasasya suktishu

Pritirmadhurasardrasu manjarishviva jayate

 

At the emergence of Kalidasa’s sayings, who is there who will

not rejoice like an eager bunch of honey laden flowers?

 

दूरस्थोऽपि न दूरस्थो यो यस्य मनसि स्थितः ।

यो यस्य हृदये नास्ति समीपस्थोऽपि दूरतः ॥ ७०५

 

Durastho api na durastho yo yasya manasi sthitah

Yo yasya hrudaye nasti samipastho api duratah

 

One who is far away is not far away if he is in one’s heart.

He who is not in one’s heart will be far away even if he is nearby.
