द्वाविमौ पुरुषौ लोके न भूतौ न भविष्यति

प्रार्थितं यश्च कुरुते यश्च नार्थये परम् 1176

 

Dvavimou purushou loke na bhutau na bhavishyati l

Prarthitam yascha kurute yascha narthaye param ll

 

Two types of people have not been there in the past, nor will be in the future

One who gives away whatever is requested and one who doesn't ask for anything from anybody.

 

उत्तमस्य क्षणं कोपो मध्यमस्य प्रहरद्वयं

अधमस्य त्वहोरात्रे पापिष्ठो नैव मुञ्चति 1177

 

Uttamasya kshanam kopo madhyamasya praharadvayam l

Adhamasya tvahoratre papaishto naiva munchati ll

 

The anger of a great person lasts seconds, that of an ordinary man for a couple of hours,

that of a lowly person all through the night and that of a sinner never gets diminished.

 

संसारविषवृक्षस्य द्वे एव मधुरे फले ।
सुभाषितं च सुस्वादु सद्भिश्च सह संगमः ॥ 1178

 

Samsaravishavrukshasya dve eva madhure phale l

Subhashitam cha susvadu sadbhishcha saha samgamah ll


In this poisonous tree of life, there are only two sweet fruits.

Good words of subhashita and company of virtuous people.

 

विवेकः सह संपत्या विनयो  विद्यया सह

प्रभुत्वम् प्रक्षयोभेदम् चिन्हमेतन्महात्मनाम् 1179

 

Vivekah saha sampatya vinayo vidya saha l

Prabhutvam prakshayobhedam chinhametanmahatmanam ll

 

Discretion with wealth, humility along with scholarship

and power without discrimination are qualities of great people.

 

अप्यब्धिपानान्महत: सुमेरून्मूलनादपि ।

अपि वहन्यशनात् साधो विषमश्चित्तनिग्रह: 1180

 

Apyabdhipananmahatah sumerunmuladapi l

Api vahanyashanat sadhu vishamashchittanigrahah ll

 

Being the master of your own mind is harder than drinking the ocean,

uprooting the Meru mountain or eating fire.
