प्रायः सरलचित्तानां जायते विपदागमः ।

ऋजुर्याति यथा छेदं न वक्रः पादपस्तथा ॥ 1061

 

Prayah saralachittanaam jayate vipadagamah ।

Rujuryati yatha chedam na vakrah padapastatha ॥

 

It looks as if only honest and straight forward people are ordained

to suffer. Just like only upright trees are cut, not the crooked ones.

 

अर्थानां अर्जने दुःखं अर्जितानां च रक्षणे ।

आये दुःखं व्यये दुःखं धिक् अर्थाः कष्टसंश्रयाः ॥ 1062

Arthanam arjane dukham arjitananam cha rakshane ।

Aye dukham vyaye dukham dhik arthah kashtasamshrayah ॥

 

It is painful to earn money and painful to protect money earned. Income is painful, outgo is painful. Fie on money which is the cause of such hardship.

 

न शरन्मेघवत्कार्ये वृथैव घनगर्जितम् ।
परस्यार्थमनर्थं वा प्रकाशयति नो महान् ॥ 1063

 

Na sharanmeghavatkarye vruthaiva ghanagarjitam ।

Parasyarthamanartham va prakashayati no mahan ॥

 

One should not roar in vain like the thundering of autumn clouds (which don't rain).

A great person never proclaims gains or losses of others.

 

अभिवादनशीलस्य नित्यं वृद्धोपसेविनः ।
चत्वारि तस्य वर्धन्ते आयुर्विद्या यशो बलम् ॥ 1064

 

Abhivadanashilasya nityam vruddhopasevinah ।

Chatvari tasya vardhante ayurvidya yasho balam ॥

One who is polite, respects and serves elders will benefit

in four ways. Longevity, knowledge, fame and strength.

 

अकलितनिजपररूप: स्वकमपि दोषं परस्थितं वेत्ति ।

नावास्थितस्तटस्थान् अचलानपि विचलितान् मनुते ॥ 1065

 

Akalitanijapararupa: svakamapi dosham parasthitam vetti ।
Navasthitastatasthan achalanapi vichalitan manute ॥

 

Not judging rightly between himself and others, he sees his own vice in his neighbour’s heart. Though people on the bank are motionless, a man on a boat supposes that they are moving.
