 यस्यास्ति वित्तं स नरः कुलीनः स पण्डितः स श्रुतवान्गुणज्ञः ।

स एव वक्ता स च दर्षनीयः सर्वे गुणाः काञ्चनमाश्रयन्ते ॥ 1131

Yasyasti vittam sa narah kulinah sa panditah sa shrutavangunajnah

Sa eva vakta sa cha darshaniyah sarve gunan kanchanamashrayante

 

One who has wealth is considered well born, learned, a good adjudicator,

a spokesperson and handsome. All qualities seem to depend on money.

 

अवशेन्द्रियचित्तानां हस्तिस्नानमिव क्रिया ।

दुर्भगाभरणप्रायो ज्ञानं भार: क्रियां विना 1132

 

Avashendriyachittanam hastisnanamiva kriya
Durbhagabharanaprayo jnanam bharah kriyam vina

 

An act performed by those whose senses and minds are not in control is like washing an elephant. Knowledge without corresponding action, is like an ornament by ugly women.

विवेकः सह संपत्या विनयो विद्यया सह ।
प्रभुत्वं प्रश्रयोपेतं चिन्हमेतन्महात्मनाम् ॥ 1133

Vivekah saha sampatya vinayo vidyaya saha

Prabhutvam prashnayopetam chinhametanmahatmanam

 

Understanding, wealth, courtesy, knowledge and curiosity

generally, go together in great people

 

आदित्यचन्द्रावनिलोऽनलश्चद्यौर्भूमिरापो हृदयं यमश्च ।
अहश्च रात्रिश्च उभे च सन्ध्ये धर्मेऽपि जानाति नरस्य वृत्तम् ॥ 1134

Adityachandraanilo analashchadyobhumirapo hrudayam yamashcha

Ahashcha ratrishcha ubhe sandhye dharmo api janati narasya vruttam


The Sun, Moon, Wind, Fire, Earth, Water, Conscience, Death, Day,

Night, Dawn, Dusk and the moral code of life stand witness to a man's actions.

 

परोपदेशवेलायां शिष्टाः सर्वे भवन्ति वै ।
विस्मरन्तीह शिश्टत्वं स्वकार्ये समुपस्थिते ॥ 1135

 

Paropadeshavelayam shishtah sarve bhavanti vai

Vismarantiha shishtatvam svakarye samupasthite

 

At the time of giving advice to others, everyone is wise. But when

encountered by their own problems, they forget all their wisdom
