 वस्त्रेण वपुषा वाचा विद्याया विनयेन च ।

वकारैः पञ्चभिर्युक्तः नरो भवति पूजितः ॥ 806

 

Vastrena vapusha vacha vidyaya vinayena cha

Vakaraih panchabhiryuktah naro bhavati pujitah

 

Good dress sense, good physique, good speech, education, courteousness are the five qualities that will earn a person respect in society.

 

आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत् ।

तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी 807

Apuryamanamachalapratishtham samudramapah pravishanti yadvat

Tadvatkama yam pravishanti sarve sa shantimapnoti na kamakami

 

Ocean remains calm though innumerable streams merge into it. One who

remains calm like an ocean attains peace, not the one who is full of desires.

 

सन्तोषस्त्रिषु कर्तव्यः स्वदारे भोजने धने ।

त्रिषु चैव न कर्तव्योऽध्ययने जपदानयोः ॥ 808

 

Santoshastrishu kartavyah svadare bhojane dhane

Trishu chaiva na kartavyo adhyayane japadanayoh

 

One’s duty is to be satisfied with these three – one’s wife, food and money

One should never be satisfied with these three – learning, penance and charity.

 

शुद्धैर्धनैर्विवर्धन्ते सतामपि न सम्पदः ।

न हि स्वच्छाम्बुभिः पूर्णाः कदाचिदपि सिन्धवः ॥ 809

 

Shuddhairdhanairvivardhante satamapi na sampadah

Na hi svacchambubhih purnah kadachidapi sindhavah

 

The wealth of even the virtuous does not grow with pure money,

nor do rivers get filled up with pure waters.

 

पूरयेदन्नेनार्धं तृतीयमुदकेन नु

वायोस्सञ्चारणार्थाय चतुर्थमवशेषयेत् 810

 

Purayedannenardham truteeyamudakena nu
Vayossancharanarthaya chaturthamavasheshayet


Eat food only to half stomach full. Third quarter of stomach should be

filled with water and the balance should be left empty for circulation of air.
