 अयःपिण्ड इवोत्तप्ते खलानां हृदये क्षणात् ।

पतितापि नेक्ष्यन्ते गुणास्तोयकणा इव ॥ ७४

 

Ayah pinda ivottapte khalanam hrudaye kshanat

Patitapi nekshyante gunastoyakana iva

 

Good thoughts entering a villain’s heart will vanish in a second

just like a drop of water falling on a hot iron piece.

 

सन्त एव सतां नित्यं आपदुद्धरणक्षमाः ।

गजानां पङ्कमग्नानां गजा एव धुरन्धराः ॥ ७४७

 

Santa eva satam nityam apaduddharanakshamah

Gajanam pankamagnanam gaja eva dhurandharah

 

Only good men will save other good men in difficulties.

An elephant stuck in the mud will be saved by another elephant.

 

अनेकसंशयोच्छेदि परोक्षार्थस्य दर्शकम् ।

सर्वस्य लोचनं शास्त्रं यस्य नास्त्यन्ध एव सः ॥ ७४८

 

Anekasamshayocchedi paroksharthasya darshakam

Sarvasya lochanam shastram yasya nastyandha eva sah

 

It clears many doubts, explains things which are not apparent, That knowledge

which becomes eyes for everyone, one who does not see it, is really blind.

 

दह्यन्ते ध्मायमानानां धातूनां हि यथा मलाः

तथेन्द्रियाणां दह्यन्ते दोषाः प्राणस्य निग्रहात् ७४९

 

Dahyante dhmayamananam dhatunam hi yatha malah

Tathendriyanam dahyante doshah pranasya nigrahat

 

Just as heating up and blowing remove impurities from metals,

Pranayama removes blemishes and defects in the mind and senses.

 

न कर्मणामनारम्भान्नैष्कर्म्यं पुरुषोऽश्नुते

न च संन्यसनादेव सिद्धिं समधिगच्छति     

काम्यानां कर्मणां न्यासं संन्यासं कवयो विदुः।

सर्वकर्मफलत्यागं प्राहुस्त्यागं विचक्षणाः   750 

 

na karmanamanarambhannaishkarnyam purusho ashrute 

na cha sannyasanadeva siddhim samadhigachchhati   

kamyanam karmanam nyasam sannyasam kavayo viduh

sarvakarmaphalatyagam prahustyagam vichakshanah

 

By merely giving up all activities of the world a person does not become a sanyasi Sanyasa is selfless service and real Tyaga is service without expectation of reward. This is real renunciation according to scholars.
