लोकयात्रार्थमेवेह धर्मस्य नियमः कृतः ।

उभयत्र सुखोदर्कः इह चैव परत्र च ॥ १२46

 

Lokayatrarthameveha dharmasya niyamah krutah ।

Ubhayatra sukhodarkah iha chaiva paratra cha ॥

 

The rules of dharma are made thus to enable smooth functioning of this world.

But following it will give you lot of happiness not only in this world, but also in afterlife..

 

अव्यापारेषु व्यापारं यो नरःकर्तुमिच्छति ।
स तत्र निधनं याति कीलोत्पाटीव वानरः ॥ १२47

 

Avyapareshu vyaparam yo narah kartumichchhati l

Sa eva nidhanam yati kilotpativa vanarah ll    

 

Anyone who tries to poke into matters which are none of his business, will meet his end,

just like the monkey who tried to remove the wedge in the log it was sitting on.

 

सुपूरा स्यात्कुनदिका सुपूरो मूषिकाञ्जलिः ।
सुसंतुष्टः कापुरुषः स्वल्पकेनापि तुष्यति ॥ १२48

Supura syat kunadika supuro mushikanjalih l
Susantushtah kapurushah svalpakenapi tushyati ll

A tiny stream becomes full with just a little water; the hands of the mouse full with just with tiny bits of food; A man without ambition is satisfied with just a little gain.

 

आयुः कर्म च वित्तञ्च विद्या निधनमेव च ।

पञ्चैते ननु कल्प्यन्ते गर्भगत्वेन देहिनाम् ॥ १२49

 

Ayuh karma cha vittancha vidya nidhanameva cha l

Panchaite nanu kalpyante garbhagatvena dehinam ll

 

Longevity, activity, wealth, education and the day of death are five aspects that are predetermined in the womb itself.

 

यावत्स्वस्थो ह्ययं देहो यावन्मृत्युश्च दूरतः ।
तावदात्महितं कुर्यात् प्राणान्ते किं करिष्यति ॥ १२5०

Yavatsvastho hyayam deho yavatmrutyushcha duratah l

Tavadatmahitam kuryat pranante kim karishyati ll

 

As long as your body is healthy and death is distant,

try to save your soul; when death is imminent what can you do?
