 तस्माद्धर्मप्रधानेन भवितव्यं यतात्मना ।

तथा च सर्वभूतेषु वर्तितव्यं यथात्मनि ॥ 921

 

Tasmaddharmapradhanena bhavitavyam yatatmana

Tatha cha sarvabhuteshu vartitavyam yathatmani

 

Deeds should be done with Dharma in the soul.

Treat all beings as you would like to be treated.

 

अदेशस्थो हि रिपुणा स्वल्पकेनापि हन्यते

ग्राहोऽल्पीयानपि जले गजेन्द्रमपि कर्षति 922

 

Adeshastho hi ripuṇa svalpakenapi hanyate
Graho alpīyanapi jale gajendramapi karshati

 

One out of one’s place is vanquished even by an insignificant foe.

A small crocodile can drag even an elephant under water.

 

सर्वाः सम्पत्तयस्तस्य संतुष्टं यस्य मानसम् ।

उपानदूढपादस्य ननु चर्मास्तृतेव भूः ॥ 923

 

Sarvah sampattyasya santushtam yasya manasam

Upanaduddhapadasya nanu charmastruteva bhuh

 

For one with a contented mind, all riches are his. To one wearing

shoes on his feet, the whole earth seems covered with leather.

 

भद्रं भद्रं कृतं मौनं कोकिलैर्जलदागमे ।

दर्दूराः यत्र वक्तारः तत्र मौनं हि शोभते ॥ 924

Bhadram bhadram krutam maunam kokilairjaladagame

Dardurah yatra vaktarah tatra maunam hi shobhate

 

At the onset of monsoon, the nightingale remains silent.

When there is cacophony from frogs, silence is better.

 

नास्ति विद्या समं चक्षू नास्ति सत्य समं तप:
नास्ति राग समं दु:खम् नास्ति त्याग समं सुखम् 925

Nasti vidya samam chakhshu nasti satya samam tapah

Nasti raga samam dukham nasti tyaga samam sukham

 

There is no vieion equal to knowledge, no penance equal to truth.

There is no sorrow equal to desire, no happiness equal to sacrifice.
