गुणवदगुणवद्वा कुर्वता

गुणवदगुणवद्वा कुर्वता कार्यमादौ
परिणतिरवधार्यां यत्नतः पण्डितेन।
अतिरभसकृतानां कर्मणानां विपत्तेः
भवति हृदयदाही शल्यतुल्यो विपाकः।
guṇavadaguṇavadvā kurvatā kāryamādau
pariṇatiravadhāryāṁ yatnataḥ paṇḍitena|
atirabhasakṛtānāṁ karmaṇānāṁ vipatteḥ
bhavati hṛdayadāhī śalyatulyo vipākaḥ|

"Before taking any action, whether good or bad,
wise men should carefully ponder over its consequences.
[Or else], the results of acts done in haste
keep piercing the heart like an arrow even after death."

मातृवत् परदारेषु

मातृवत् परदारेषु परद्रव्येषु लोष्ठवत्।
आत्मवत् सर्वभूतेषु यः पश्यति सः पण्डितः॥
mātṛvat paradāreṣu paradravyeṣu loṣṭhavat|
ātmavat sarvabhūteṣu yaḥ paśyati saḥ paṇḍitaḥ||

"Other's wives as one's own mother, other's possessions as equivalent to stone.
Other beings as one's own self, who sees [thus] is [indeed] a learned man."
