स्वभावसुन्दरं वस्तु न संस्कारमपेक्षते ।

मुक्तारत्नस्य शाणाश्मघर्षणं नोपयुज्यते ॥ 1056

 

Svabhavasundaram vast una samskaramapekshate ।

Muktaratnasya shanashmagharshanam nopayujyate ॥

 

That which is naturally beautiful needs no refinement.

Polishing a glittering jewel does not add any more shine to it.

 

तृणं लघु तृणात्तूलं तूलादपि च याचकः ।
वायुना किं न नीतोऽसौ मामयं प्रार्थयेदिति ॥ 1057

 

Trunam laghu trunattulam tuladapi cha yachakah ।

Vayuna kim n anito asau mamayam prarthayediti ॥

 

Grass is light and cotton is lighter than a blade of grass. A beggar is lighter (inferior) compared to cotton. Why then is he still not carried away by the wind? It is because he is so shameless that he does not hesitate to beg even from the wind.

 

दुःखं दुःखमिति ब्रूयात् मानवो नरकं प्रति ।
दारिद्र्यादधिकं दुःखं न भूतं न भविष्यति ॥ 1058

 

Dukham dukhamiti bruyat manavo narakam prati । 

Daridradryadadhikam dukaham na bhutam na bhavishyati ॥

People say that hell is the place of intense pain. But there is no pain

as intense as that of poverty, neither was there in past, nor will be in future.

 

दिवसेनैव तत् कुर्याद् येन रात्रौ सुखं वसेत् ।
यावज्जीवं च तत्कुर्याद् येन प्रेत्य सुखं वसेत् ॥ 1059

Divasenaiva tat kuryad yena ratrau sukham vaset ।

Yavajjivam cha tatkuryad yena pretya sukahm vaset ॥

 

Do such work through the day, so that you can sleep peacefully at night.

Do such work throughout your life so that you are peacefull even after death.

 

आदित्यस्य गतागतैरहरहः संक्षीयते जीवितं व्यापारैर्बहुकार्यभारगुरुभिः कालो न विज्ञायते ।
दृष्ट्वा जन्मजराविपत्तिमरणं त्रासश्च नोत्पद्यते पीत्वा मोहमयीं प्रमादमदिरामुन्मत्तभूतं जगत् ॥ 1060

Adityasya gatagatairaharahah samkshiyate jivitam vyaparairbahukaryabharagurubhih kalo na vijnayate ।

Drushtva janmajaravipattimaranam trasashcha notpadyate pitva mohamayim pramadamadiramunmattabhutam jagat ॥

 

Life shortens day by day as the sun rises and sets. Subject to the pressure of several mundane activities, one fails to see how time flies. One is not afraid despite beholding birth, misery, old age, and death. In fact, the world is intoxicated by the mysterious wine of delusion.
