मातेव रक्षति पितेव हिते नियुङ्क्ते कान्तेव चाभिरमयत्यपनीय खेदं ।

kirtim cha dikshu vitanoti tanoti lakshmim kim kim na sadhayati kalpalateva vidya ll

 

It protects one like a mother, cares for one like a father, entertains and shields one from misfortune like a wife, brings about fame and prosperity. Very little that one cannot achieve with knowledge, as with kalpavruksha.

Svagunochchagiro munivrattah paravarnagrahaneshvasadhavah ll

 

Blind to shortcomings in self. Extremely good sight while finding fault in others.

Loud voice when talking about self and a saint like silence when praising others.

Such is the nature of bad people.

 

व्याघ्रीव तिष्ठति जरा परितर्जयन्ति रोगाश्च शत्रव इव प्रहरन्ति देहम् ।
आयुः परिस्रवति भिन्नघटादिवाम्भः लोकस्तथाऽप्यहितमाचरतीति चित्रम् ॥ 1188

Ayuh parisravati bhinnaghatadivambhah lokastathapyahitamacaratiti chitram ll

 

Fearsome is old age like a tiger, Illness attacks the body like enemies.
Lifetime flows ot like water from a leaky vessel. Is it not a wonder that people engage in actions not conducive to well-being?

 

आदित्यस्य गतागतैरहरहः संक्षीयते जीवितम्
व्यापारैर्बहुकार्यभारगुरुभिः कालो न विज्ञायते ।

Drushtva janmajaravipattimaranam trasashcha notpadyate

Pitva mohamayim pramadamadiramunmattabhutam jagat ll

Life shortens day by day as the sun rises and sets. Subject to the pressure of 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.

Natyuchchashikharo merurnatinicham rasatalam vyavasayadvitiyanam natyaparo mahodadhih l

For a person who depends on his own efforts, the peak of a mountain is not very high, the bottom of the earth is not too deep and the ocean is not difficult to cross.
