देवे तीर्थे द्विजे मन्त्रे देवज्ञे भेषजे गुरौ ।
यादृशी भावना यस्य सिद्धिर्भवति तादृशी ॥
The way one's faith is in Ishwara, Kshetra, Brahmin, Mantra, and
Jyotishi. Vaidya and Guru,
The same way will be one's life's fulfilment.
धनधान्यप्रयोगेषु विद्यासङ्ग्रहणेषु च ।
आहारे व्यवहारे च त्यक्तलज्जः सुखी भवेत् ॥
One who is not unnecessarily reserved and diffident in matters of
Acquiring wealth, assets and knowledge, and taking good care of them,
And in one's habits of diet and activity, shall be successful and happy.
धनानि जीवितं चैव परार्थे प्राज्ञ उत्सृजेत् ।
सन्निमित्ते वरं त्यागो विनाशे नियते सति ॥
It's wise to devote one's wealth and living to the good of others.
When one's end is near, it is better to relinquish all for a good cause.
पञ्च यत्र न विद्यन्ते तत्र वासं न कारयेत् ॥
Dwell not where there is no rich man, learned man, king, river, nor a doctor.
धर्म एव हतो हन्ति धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः ।
तस्माद्धर्मो न हन्तव्यो मा नो धर्मो हतोऽवधीत् ॥
Dharma (Righteousness and good conduct), when forsaken, abandons us to death.
Dharma, when protected, protects us.
Thus, we should never endanger Dharma, lest it should kill us in turn.
