आदौ चित्ते ततः काये सतां सञ्जायते जरा ।

असतां च पुनः काये नैव चित्ते कदाचन ॥ 1081

 

Adau chitte tatah kaye satam sanjayate jara l

Asatam cha punah kaye naiva chitte kadachana ll

 

In virtuous people old age sets first in the mind and later in the body.

On the other hand, wicked person’s body keeps aging but his mind never matures.

Meritorious people are respected for their qualities,

not based on their gender or their age.

 

सन्तोषक्षतये पुंसामाकस्मिकधनागमः ।

सरसां सेतुभेदाय वर्षौघः स च न स्थिरः ॥ 1083

Santoshakshataye pumsamakasmikadhanagamah l

Sarasam setubhedaya varshoghak sa cha na sthirah ॥

Sudden and unexpected money will destroy happiness.

Sudden floods in the rivers will break bridges and not bring stability.

 

द्वावेव चिन्तया मुक्तौ परमानन्द आप्लुतौ ।
यो विमुग्धो जडो बालो यो गुणेभ्यः परं गतः ॥ 1084

Dvaveva chintaya muktau paramananda aplutau l

Yo vimudho jado yo gunebhyah param gatah ॥

 

Only two types of people are free from worries and are full of happiness.

Innocent children and realised souls who are beyond worldly matters.

 

अनवाप्यं च शोकेन शरीरं चोपतप्यते ।

अमित्राश्च प्रहृष्यन्ति मा स्म शोके मन: कृथा ॥ 1085

 

Anavapyaṃ cha shokena shariram chopatapyate l
Amitrashcha prahrushyanti ma sma shoke manah krutha ॥

 

Nothing is gained through grief. The body suffers

much and foes rejoice. Never lose your mind to grief.
