 निशानां च दिनानां च यथा ज्योतिः विभूषणम् ।

सतीनां च यतीनां च तथा शीलमखण्डितम् ॥ 1206 

Nishanam cha dinanam cha yatha jyotih vibhushanam

Satinam cha yatinam cha shilamakhanditam  


Just as brightness is the adornment of night and day,

unshakeable modesty is the adornment of wives and saints.

 

क्षन्तव्यो मन्दबुद्धीनाम् अपराधो मनीषिणा ।

न हि सर्वत्र पाण्डित्यं सुलभं पुरुषे क्वचित् ॥ 1207

 

Kshantavyo mandabuddhinam aparadho manishina

Na hi sarvatra pandityam sulabham purusha kvachit

 

The follies of the dull-witted should be forgiven.

Erudition does not come easily to people everywhere.

 

धर्मो यशो नयो दाक्ष्यं मनोहारि सुभाषितम् ।
इत्यादि गुणरत्नानां संग्रही नावसीदती ॥ 1208

 

Dharmo yasho nayo dakshyam manohari subhashitam

Ityadi gunaratnanam samgrahi navasidati

 

One who collects jewels such as dharma, fame, courtesy,

compassion and pleasing subhashitas will not face decline.

 

लभ्यते खलु पापीयान् नरो नु प्रियवागिह ।
अप्रियस्य हि पथ्यस्य वक्ता श्रोता च दुर्लभ 1209

Labhyate khalu papiyan naro nu priyavagiha

Apriyasya hi pathyasya vakta shrota cha durlabha

It is easy to find wicked people in this world who please one with sweet words but difficult to come across people who speak & hear the bitter truth.

  

शुभं वा यदि वा पापं द्वेष्यं वा यदि वा प्रियम् ।
अपृष्टस्तस्य तद्ब्रूयाद्यस्य नेच्छेत् पराभवम् 1210 

Shubhaṁ va yadi va papam dveshyaṁ va yadi va priyam
Aprushtastasya tadbruyadyasya nechchet parabhavam

Be it good or bad, pleasant or hateful. well -wishers should be

truthful to the the person whose downfall is not wished.
