यावन्तः पृथिव्यां भोगा यावन्तो जातवेदसि ।

यावन्तो प्राणिनां भूयान् पुत्रे पितुस्ततः ॥ ७०६

 

Yavantah pruthivyam bhoga yavanto jatavedasi ।

Yavanto praninam bhuyan putre pitustatah ॥

 

Whatever enjoyments are there on earth, whatever derived from fire, whatever

enjoyments there are for people, greater are the enjoyments of a father from his son.

Tatra shanka prakartavya pariname sukhavaha ॥

 

When there is excessive respect, it will be to get some things done.

A doctor will prescribe medicines as he wishes and a strict diet. If one gets cured it will be because of medicines, if not, it will be because of not following the diet.

 

अकलितनिजपररूपः स्वकमपि दोषं परस्थितं वेत्ति ।

नावास्थितस्तटस्थन् अचलानपि विचलितान् मनुते ॥ ७०९

Akaltanijapararupah svakamapi dosham parasthitam vetti ।

Navasthitastatastan achalamapi vichalitatan manute ॥

 

Not knowing real issues between one and another, one sees one’s own fault in others. One on a moving boat thinks people on the shore are moving even if they are stationary.

Sa yantetyuchyate sadmirna yo rashnishu lambate ॥

 

One who can control rising anger like a charioteer who controls

heaving horses with the reins is called a wiseman.
