 उत्साहो बलवानार्थ नास्त्युत्साहात्परं बलम् ।

सोत्साहस्य च लोकेषु न किंचिदपि दुर्लभम् ॥ १३8


Utsaho balavanartha nastyutsahatparam balam

Sotsahasya cha lokeshu na kinchidapi durlabham

 

Enthusiasm is the power of strong men. Nothing is as powerful as enthusiasm.

Nothing is difficult in this world for an enthusiastic person.

 

स्वेदितो मर्दितश्चैव रञ्जुभिः परिवेष्टितः 
मुक्तो द्वादशभिर्वर्षैः श्वपुच्छः प्रकृतिं गतः  १३८

 

Svedito marditashchaiva ranjubhih pariveshtitah 
Mukto dvadashabhirvarshaih shvapucchah prakrutim gatah 

 

A dog’s tail warmed, pressed, bound with ropes, when

liberated after twelve years will resume its natural shape.

 

धारणाद्धर्ममित्याहु: धर्मो धारयते प्रजा:

यस्याद्धारणसंयुक्तं स धर्म इति निश्चय:  १३८३

 

Dharanaddharmamityahuh dharmio dharayate prajaj

yasyaddharanasamyuktam sa dharma iti nishchayah

 

The word "dharma" is derived from "dharana" meaning bearing.

Dharma holds society together. If something can hold people together,

no doubt it is dharma.

 

अप्रशस्तानि कार्याणि यो मोहादनुतिष्ठति ।

स तेषां विपरिभ्रंशाद्भ्रंश्यते जीवितादपि  १३८4

 

Aprashastani karyani yo mohadanutishtati

Sa tesham viparibhramshadbhramshyate jivitadapi

 

One who supports unjust actions having fallen in love, will suffer

the consequences of those actions as if in hell even while living.

 

भोगस्य भाजनं राजा न राजा कार्यभाजनम् ।
राजकार्य परिध्वंसी मन्त्री दोषेण लिप्यते ॥ 
१३८5

 

Bhogasya bhajanaṃ raja na raja karyabhajanam 
Rājakarya paridhvamsi mantri doshena lipyate 

 

The king’s role is to indulge in pleasure and not get involved in work.

If the king’s work is not done the minister incurs the blame.
