सर्वं परवशं दुःखं सर्वमात्मवशं सुखम् ।
एतद्विद्यात्समासेन लक्षणं सुखदुःखयोः ॥ १०६ ॥
All things that are subject to outside factors, i.e. beyond one's control,
Bring misery. All independence from outside factors, i.e. being in one's control,
Implies happiness. In essence, this is what's happiness and what's sorrow.
सहसा विदधीत न क्रियाम्
अविवेकः परमापदां पदम् ।
वृणुते हि विमृष्यकारिणम्
गुणलुब्धाः स्वयमेव सम्पदः ॥ १०७ ॥
Never do anything in haste.
Thoughtless action is the sure way to failure and distress.
Success and glory come readily to the one who does
Everything after due consideration,
For, they have an affinity to competence!
साधूनां दर्शनं पुण्यं तीर्थभूता हि साधवः ।
तीर्थं फलति कालेन सद्यः साधुसमागमः ॥ १०८ ॥
Meeting holy men brings as much merit as going on a holy pilgrimage.
A pilgrimage confers merit over time, but meeting holy people gives instant fruits.
सजीर्णमन्नं सुविचक्षणः सुतः
सुशासिता स्त्री नृपतिः सुसेवितः ।
सुचिन्त्य चोक्तं सुविचार्य यत्कृतम्
सुदीर्घकालेऽपि न याति विक्रियाम् ॥ १०९ ॥
Well-digested food, a truly smart son,
A well-groomed lady, a well-served king,
Words spoken after due thought, actions done after due consideration,
Do not bring adverse outcomes even in the distant future.
सुभिक्षं कृषके नित्यं नित्यं सुखमरोगिणः ।
भार्या भर्तुः प्रिया यस्य तस्य नित्योत्सवं गृहम् ॥ ११० ॥
For a diligent farmer, there is food aplenty always,
For a man in good health, well-being is a natural state.
For the man whose wife is dear, home is always full of celebration.
