वनानि दहतो वह्नेः सखा भवति मारुतः ।
स एव दीपनाशाय कृशे कस्यास्ति सौहृदम् ॥ 941
Vanani dahato vahneh sakha bhavati marutah ।
Sa eva dipanashaya krusho kasyasti sauhrudam ॥
The wind becomes a helper of the fire that burns in the
forest.
The same wind blows out a lamp. Where are the friends of
the weak?
पारभन्तेऽरुपमेवाज्ञाः कामं
व्यग्रा भवन्ति च ।
महारम्भाः कृतधियस्तिष्ठन्ति च
निराकुलाः ॥ 942
Parabhante arupamevajnah kamam vyagra bhavanti cha ।
Maharambhah krutadhiyastishtthanti cha nirakulah ॥
Ignorant people start small tasks and are completely
absorbed in them.
Determined people who undertake large tasks remain
unperturbed.
दुर्जनेन समं सख्यं द्वेषं वापि न कारयेत् ।
उष्णो दहति चाङ्गारः शीतः कृष्णायते करम् ॥ 943
Durjanena samam sakhyam dvesham vapi na karayet ।
Ushno dahati changarah shitah krushnayate karam ॥
Do not
make friendship or enmity with the wicked.
Coal when
hot burns the hand and when cold blackens it.
लक्षणं मनसः ज्ञानस्य अभावः भाव एव वा ।
सति हि आत्म इन्द्रियार्थानां सन्निकर्षेण एव वर्तते ॥ 944
Lakshnam manasah jnanasya abhavah bhava eva va ।
Sati hi atma indriyarthanam sannikarshena eva vartate ॥
The quality of the mind is such that it produces
knowledge or lack of it
in contact with the soul and sensory organs, behaving
contrarily.
स्वल्पं स्वल्पमपि प्राज्ञैः कर्तव्यं सुकृतार्जनम् ।
पतद्भिर्बिन्दुभिर्जाता महानद्यः समुद्रगाः ॥ 945
Svalpam svalpamapi prajnaih kartavyam sukrutarjanam
।
Patadbhirbindubhirjata mahandyah
samudragah ॥
Wisemen earn merit by actions done bit by bit. From
falling
drops of water emerge great rivers that reach the oceans.
