अन्धा विद्वर्ज्जनिर्हीना मूका कविभिरुज्झिता ।

बधिरा गायनैर्हीना सभा भवति भूभृतां ॥ १4०6

 

Andha vidvarjjanihina muka kavibhirujjita ।

Badhira gayanairhina sabha bhavati bhubhrutam ॥

 

If a king’s court is devoid of scholars, singers and poets,

It becomes an assembly of blind, deaf and mute people.

 

न गर्वं कुरुते माने नापमाने च तप्यते ।

स्वकारं रक्षयेद्यस्तु स भृत्योऽर्हो महीभुजाम् ॥ १4०7

 

 

Na garvam kurute mane napamane cha tapyate ।
Svakaram rakshayedyastu sa bhrutyo arho mahibhujam ॥

 

The servant who does not feel excess pride when praised, or sadness when rebuked, he who keeps his feelings to himself, is alone fit to serve the king.

 

यो न पूजयते गर्वादुत्तमाधममध्यमान् ।

नृपासन्नात्स मान्योऽपि भ्रश्यते दन्तिलो यथा ॥ १4०८

 

Yo na pujayate garvaduttamadhamamadhyaman ।

Nrupasannatsa manyo api bhrashyate dantilo yatha ॥

 

Anyone who out of arrogance does not respect people of differing values who are protected by the king will lose his position like Dantila (a rich merchant who lost his position due to arrogance)

 

सुप्रयुक्तस्य दम्भस्य ब्रह्माप्यन्तं न गच्छति ।

कौलिको विष्णुरुपेण राजकन्यां निषेवते ॥ १4०9 

Suprayuktasya dambhasya brahmapyantam na gachchati ।

Kauliko vishnurupena rajakanyam niveshate ॥

 

Even Bharhma cannot fathom a well conceived and executed deceit.

A weaver in the garb of Vishnu can romance the princess. 

 

अजा सिंहप्रसादेन वने चरति निर्भयम् ।
राममासाद्य लङ्कायां लेभे राज्यं विभीषणः ॥ १4१०

 

Aja simhaprasadena vane charati nirbhayam ।
Ramamasadya lankayam lebhe rajyam vibhishanah ॥

 

Protected by the lion the goat roams freely in the forest without any fear.

Having joined Rama’s camp Vibhishana became the king of Lanka.
