चिन्ता चिता समानाऽस्ति बिन्दुमात्रविशेषतः ।

सजीवं दहते चिन्ता निर्जीवं दहते चिता ॥ 761

 

Chinta chita samana asti bindumatravisheshatah ।

SajIvam dahate chinta nirjivam dahate chita ॥

 

Chinta(worry) and Chita(funeral pyre) are almost equal except  for

the ‘n’ sound. Chinta  makes the living burn and Chita burns the dead.

 

अज्ञं कर्माणि लिम्पन्ति तज्ज्ञं कर्म न लिम्पति ।

लिप्यते रसनैवैका सर्पिषा करवद् यथा ॥ 762

 

ajnaṃ karmani limpanti tajjnaṃ karma na limpati ।
lipyate rasanaivaika sarpisha karavad yatha ॥ 

 

Work hangs heavily on the ignorant, but not so on an expert.

Ghee sticks to the palm but not to the tongue. 

वाच्या वाच्यं प्रकुपितो न विजानाति कर्हिचित् ।

नाकार्यमस्ति क्रुद्धस्य नावाच्यं विद्यते क्वचित् ॥ 763

 

Vaachyaa vaachyam prakupito na vijaanaati karhichit ।

Naakaaryamasti kruddhasya navaachyam vidyate kvachit ॥

 

An angry person by nature does not know what he speaks.

Neither his work is done nor is there any impact of what he says.

 

परोपदोषे  पाण्डित्यं  सर्वेषां  सुकरं  नृणाम्  ।

धर्मे  स्वीयमनुष्ठानं  कस्यचित्सुमहात्मनः ॥ 764

 

Paropadoshe pandityam sarvesham sukaram nrunam ।

Dharma sviyamanushtanam kasyachitsumahatmanah ॥

 

Advising others by showing off knowledge is very easy for people.

Following such advice themselves is done only by great people.

 

आत्मार्थं जीवलोकेस्मिन् को न जीवति मानवः ।

परं परोपकारार्थं यो जीवति स जीवति ॥ 765

 

Atmartham jeevalokesmin ko na jeevati manavah ।

Param paropakarartham yo jeevati sa jeevati ॥

 

In this world, who does not live for himself? But the one who

lives for others is the one who can be called as having lived.
