परिवर्तिनि संसारे मृतः को वा न जायते।

स जातो येन जातेन याति वंशः समुन्नतिम् ॥ 1026

 

Parivartini samsare mrutah ko va na jayate ।

Sa jato yena jatena yati vamshah samunnatim ॥

 

In this world of constant change, who does not take birth after one dies?

But the one who takes his clan to greater heights is the one really born.

शान्तितुल्यं तपो नास्ति तोषान्न परमं सुखम्।

नास्ति तृष्णापरो व्याधिर्न च धर्मो दयापरः॥ 1027

 

Shantitulyam tapo nasti toshanna paramam sukham ।

Nasti trushnaparo vyadhirna dharmo dayaparah ॥

 

There is no penance equal to peace, no happiness equal to joy,

no disease equal to thirst for things and no Dharma equal to kindness.

 

अहन्यहनि भूतानि गच्छन्तीह यमालयम् ।

शेषाः स्थावरमिच्छन्ति किमाश्चर्यंमत: परम् ॥ 1028

 

Ahanyahani bhutani gachchantiha yamalayam ।

Sheshah sthavaramichchanti kimashcharyamatah param ॥

 

Day by day all living beings go to Yamraj's house after dying.

Wonder why then those who survive wish for immortality?

वदनं प्रसादसदनं सदयं हृदयं सुधामुचो वाचः ।
करणं परोपकरणं येषां केषां न ते वन्द्याः ॥ 1029

 

Vadanam prasadasadanam sadayam hrudayam sudhamucho vachah |

Karanam paropakaranam yesham kesham n ate vandyah ||

Who will not honor such a person who has a smile on his face,

has compassion in his heart, whose speech is sweet and is always helpful.

 

राजा राष्ट्रकृतं पापं राज्ञः पापं पुरोहितः ।
भर्ता च स्त्रीकृतं पापं शिष्यपापं गुरुः तथा ॥ 1030

 

Raja rashtrakrutam papam rajnah papam purohitah ।

Bhartam cha strikrutam papam shishyapapam guruh tatha ॥

A king is culpable for sins committed by the nation. The adviser is culpable of sins committed by the king. Husband is responsible for his wife's sins. A teacher is responsible for the sins of his pupil.
