SUBHASHITHANI:270
जरा रुपं हरति धैर्यमाशा मृत्युः प्राणान् धर्मचर्यामसूया।
( अभिमान- Pride, arrogance )- Vidura Niti
VIDURA ADVISING DHRUTARASHTRA
जरा रुपं हरति धैर्यमाशा मृत्युः प्राणान् धर्मचर्यामसूया।
कामो ह्रियं वृत्तमनार्यसेवा क्रोधः श्रियं सर्वमेवाभिमानः ॥
Jaraa roopam harati dhairyamaasha
mrutyuh praanaan dharma charyaamasooyaa I
Kaamo hriyam vruttam anaaryasevaa
krodhah shriyam sarvamevaabhimaanah II
Old age destroys beauty; desire patience; death takes away life; envy the
practice of righteousness; lust takes off shame; association with the wicked
destroys good conduct; anger destroys prosperity; and pride everything.( अभिमान- Pride, arrogance )- Vidura Niti
वृतं यत्नेन संरक्षेद् वित्तमेति च याति च।
अक्षीणो वित्ततः क्षीणो वृत्ततस्तु हतो हतः।।Vidura niti
Vruttam yatnena samrakshed vittameti cha yaati cha I
Aksheeno vittatah ksheeno vruttatastu hato hatah II
We should protect our good character
(and not our wealth) by making special efforts, because wealth comes and goes,
increases and decreases. However, if character is lost the person concerned is as
good as a dead person.
( हीनवृत्तों-man of ignoble conduct )
सत्येन रक्ष्यते धर्मो विद्या योगेन रक्ष्यते ।
मृजया रक्ष्यते रुपं कुलं वृत्तेन रक्ष्यते ॥ Vidura niti
Satyena
rakshyate dharmo vidhyaa yogena rakshyate I
Mrujayaa
rakshyate roopam kulam vruttena rakshyate II
Virtue is
kept up by truthfulness, learning is preserved by constant practice, beauty by
ablution and lineage by virtuous conduct.
( मृजया- cleansing by rubbing; वृत्तं-morality
)
न कुलं वृत्तहीनस्य प्रमाणमिति में मतिः ।
अन्तेष्वपि हि जातानां वृतमेव विशिष्यते ॥
Vidura niti
Na kulam vrutta heenasya pramaanamiti
me matih I
Anteshvapi hi jaataanaam vruttameva
vishishyate II
Mere lineage is no cause of respect
for one who is lacking in morality. Morality alone is worthy of consideration
or respect for one, even if he be of the lowest birth.
तृणोल्कया ज्ञायते
ज्ञानरूपं वृत्तेन भद्रो व्यवहारेण साधु:
।
शूरो भयेष्वर्थकृच्छ्रेषु
धीर: कृच्छ्रेष्वावत्सु सुहृदश्चारयश्च ॥
The gold is
identified by burning in fire, nobility is known by one’s action, a virtuous man
is known by his conduct . A hero is known in danger, the valiant in difficulty,
and friends and foes in dire calamities .
नाक्रोशी स्यात्रावमानी परस्य मित्रद्रोही नोत निचोपसेवी।
न चाभिमानी न च हीनवृत्तों रुक्षां वाचं रुषतीं वर्जयीत॥
Don’t abuse or insult
another, never be a traitor to your friends , nor be a dependent on the mean;
neither be arrogant nor take to ignoble conduct. Avoid words hurting and harsh.
प्राप्नोति वै वित्तमसद्बलेन
नित्योत्त्थानात् प्रज्ञया पौरुषेण।
न त्वेव सम्यग् लभते प्रशंसां
न वृत्तमाप्नोति महाकुलानाम् ॥Vidura niti
Prapnoti vai vittamasadbalena, nityotta
thanaat pragyayaa paurushena I
Na tveva samyag labhate prashamsaam, Na
vruttamaapnoti mahaakulaanaam II
It is possible for one to earn wealth by
improper use of might, or by perseverance, or by intelligence, or by manliness
; but that will not help him to fetch a good name or the character of those
born in a noble family.
येषां न वृत्तं वयथते न यॊनिर; वृत्तप्रसादेन चरन्ति धर्मम I
ये कीर्तिम इच्छन्ति कुले विशिष्टां; तयक्तानृतास तानि महाकुलानि II
ये कीर्तिम इच्छन्ति कुले विशिष्टां; तयक्तानृतास तानि महाकुलानि II
yeṣāṃ na vṛttaṃ vyathate na yonir; vṛttaprasādena caranti dharmam
ye kīrtim icchanti kule viśiṣṭāṃ; tyaktānṛtās tāni mahākulāni
ye kīrtim icchanti kule viśiṣṭāṃ; tyaktānṛtās tāni mahākulāni
Those are
noble families where in those born do not swerve from virtuous conduct,
and
they behave in such a way their ancestors are not pained; they practice virtue
with a pleasant face, wish for high fame for the family, and shun every form of
falsehood.
( न वयथते-are
not pained ; यॊनिर-ancestors )
आरोग्यमानृण्यमविप्रवासः
सद्भिर्मनुष्यैस्सह संप्रयोगः।
स्वप्रत्यया वृत्तिरभीतवासः
षट् जीवलोकस्य सुखानि राजन् ॥
Aarogyamaanrinyamavipravaasah
Sadbhirmanushyaissaha samprayogah
Swapratyayaa vrittirabheetavaasah
Shat jeevalokasya sukhaani raajan
Good health, not to be in debt, not being forced to live in an
alien land, company of good people, earning a livelihood by one’s own
skill or knowledge and living without fear – these six things make one’s life
happy and joyful.
