सभां वा न प्रवेष्ठव्यं वक्तव्यं वा समञ्जसं ।

अब्रुवन् विब्रुवन् वापि नरो भवति किल्बिषी ॥ 1036

 

Sabham va na praveshtyam vaktavyam va samanjasam ।

Abruvan vibruvan vapi naro bhavati kilbishi ॥

 

One should refrain from being a part of the meeting; if one is a part, speaking the truth is the only option. Those who either don't speak up misrepresent are both defaulters of highest order.

 

अधिगत्य गुरोर्ज्ञानम् छात्रेभ्यो वितरन्ति ये ।
विद्यावात्सल्यनिधयः शिक्षका मम दैवतम् ॥ 1037

 

Adhigatya gurorjnanam chatrebhyo vittaranti ye ।

Vidyavatsalyanidhayah shikshaka mama deivatam ॥

Teachers are those who master knowledge from their teachers and then impart it to students. They are the treasure houses of knowledge and love. I consider such teachers as divine beings and worship them.

 

धर्म यो बाधते धर्मा न स धर्मः कुधर्मकः ।
अविरोधात्तु यो धर्मः स धर्मः सत्यविक्रम ॥ 1038

 

Dharma yo badhate dharma na sa dhramah kudharmakah ।

Avirodhattu yo dharmah sa dharmah satyavikrama ॥

That faith which opposes another faith is not a real faith. It is fake.

That faith which believes in univeral tolerance is the real faith.

 

श्वा यति दशति मनुष्यान् न ते जनास्तं पुनः प्रतिदशन्ति ।

यद्याक्रोशति नीचो न सज्जनस्तं वदति किञ्चित् ॥ 1039

 

Shva yati dashati manushyan na te janastam punah pratidashanti ।

Yadyakroshanti neecho na sajjanastam vadati kinchit ॥

 

When a dog bites a man, the man does not bite the dog in return.

When a mean person maligns a noble person, the noble one does not retaliate.

 

क्षमा बलमशक्तानां शक्तानां भूषणं क्षमा ।
क्षमा वशीकृतिर्लोके क्षमया किं न सिध्यति ॥ 1040

 

Kshama balamakshatanam shaktanam bhushanam kshama ।

Kshma vashikrutirloke kshamaya kim na sidhyati ॥

 

Ability to forgive is the strength of the weak. It is the ornament of the mighty. In

this world where it subdues one, what cannot be accomplished by forgiveness?
