 वर्धमानो महान् स्नेहः सिंहगोवृषयोर्वने ।

पिशुनेनातिलुब्धेन जम्बुकेन विनाशितः ॥ 1051


Vardhamano mahan snehaḥh simhagovrushayor vane 
Pishunenatilubdhena jambukena vinashitah 

 

The increasing true friendship between the lion and the bull

in the forest was destroyed by a deceitful greedy fox.

 

मुखं पद्मदलाकारं वाचा चन्दनशीतला ।
हृदयं क्रोधसंयुक्तं त्रिविधं धूर्तलक्षणम् ॥ 1052

 

Mukham padmadalakaram vacha chandanashitala

Hrudayam krodhasamyuktam trividham dhurtalakshanam

 

Face as beautiful as a lotus petal, words pleasing as fragrance of sandalwood,

heart filled with rage; these are the three characteristic qualities of cunning people.

 

दुर्लभं त्रयमेवैतत् दैवानुग्रहहेतुकम् ।
मनुष्यत्वं मुमुक्षुत्वं महापुरुषसंश्रयः ॥ 1053


Durlabham trayamevaitat daivanugrahahetukam

Manushyatvam, mumukshutvam mahapurushasamshrayah

 

These are three things that are difficult to achieve. They depend on blessings of fate. Human life, desire for release from cycle of rebirth and company of great people.

 

कुचैलिनं दन्तमलोपधारिणं बह्वाशिनं निष्ठुरभाषिणं च ।
सूर्योदये चाऽस्तमये च शायिनं विमुञ्चति श्रीरपि चक्रपाणिनम् ॥ 1054

 

Kuchailinam dantamalopadharinam bahvashinam nishturabhashinam

Suryodaye cha astamaye cha shayinam vimiunchati shrirapi chakrapaninam

He who wears dirty clothes, doesn't brush his teeth, is a glutton, speaks rudely, sleeps at dawn and dusk is forsaken by the goddess of wealth even if he is Lord Vishnu.

 

पातितोऽपि कराघातैः उत्पतत्येव कन्दुकः ।
प्रायेण साधुवृत्तानाम् अस्थायिन्यो विपत्तयः ॥ 1055

 

Patito api karaghataih utpatatyeva kandukah

Prayena sadhuvruttanam asthayinyo vipattayah

 

A ball thrown down by hand keeps raising up.

Misfortunes of the virtuous are rarely permanent.
