 SUBHASHITHANI:446

मुञ्च मुञ्च पतत्य् एको मा मुञ्चेति द्वितीयकः ।
उभयोः पतनं दृष्ट्वा मौनं सर्वार्थ-साधनम् ॥ २०५ ॥

muñca muñca pataty eko mā muñceti dvitīyakaḥ |
ubhayoḥ patanaṃ dṛṣṭvā maunaṃ sarvārtha-sādhanam || 3.205 ||
Leave it! Leave it! said the first sage and don't leave it said the second; their dhothies normally drying up in the sky fell to the ground. Seeing this the third sage maintained silence. That is why it is said that a sage should not involve in other activities and focus only on the self. ( The kite told the story of three brothers to the sage Salankayana ).

The sage replied:

सञ्चरन्तीह पापानि युगेष्व् अन्येषु देहिनाम् ।

कलौ तु पाप-संयुक्ते यः करोति स लिप्यते ॥ २०६ ॥

sañcarantīha pāpāni yugeṣv anyeṣu dehinām |
kalau tu pāpa-saṃyukte yaḥ karoti sa lipyate || 3.206 ||ko

In the satya yuga one will inherit the sin merely by talking to the wicked; but in Kaliyuga Only by  committing sins one becomes a sinner not by just talking to one.

आसनाच् छयनाद् यानात् संगतेश् चापि भोजनात् ।
कृते सञ्चरते पापं तैल-बिन्दुर् इवाम्भसि ॥ २०७ ॥
āsanāc chayanād yānāt saṃgateś cāpi bhojanāt |
kṛte sañcarate pāpaṃ taila-bindur ivāmbhasi || 3.207 ||
In Kruta yuga sin spreads like drop of oil in water by sitting, sleeping, travelling in vehicle together and eating with sinners.

जनिता चोपनेता च यस् तु विद्यां प्रयच्छति ।
अन्न-दाता भय-त्राता पञ्चैते पितरः स्मृताः ॥ २०८ ॥

janitā copanetā ca yas tu vidyāṃ prayacchati |
anna-dātā bhaya-trātā pañcaite pitaraḥ smṛtāḥ || 3.208 ||

One who gives birth, one who brings closer to the Lord, one who gives knowledge, one who gives food, one who protects from fear; these five are deemed as fathers.

अनूढा मन्दिरे यस्य रजः प्राप्नोति कन्यका ।
पतन्ति पितरस् तस्य स्वर्ग-स्था अपि तैर् गुणैः ॥ २०९ ॥

anūḍhā mandire yasya rajaḥ prāpnoti kanyakā |
patanti pitaras tasya svarga-sthā api tair guṇaiḥ || 3.209 ||

If a girl attains menstruation as a spinster at home, the father of the girl will be committing the sin of failing in his duty and forfeits a place in heaven.

वरं वरयते कन्या माता वित्तं पिता श्रुतम् ।
बान्धवाः कुलम् इच्छन्ति मिष्टान्नम् इतरे जनाः ॥ २१० ॥
varaṃ varayate kanyā mātā vittaṃ pitā śrutam |
bāndhavāḥ kulam icchanti miṣṭānnam itare janāḥ || 3.210 ||
Bride chooses - appearance; mother - possessions; father - reputation; relatives look for (good) lineage; other people - a fancy feast!

यावन् न लज्जते कन्या यावत् क्रीडति पांसुना ।
यावत् तिष्ठति गो-मार्गे तावत् कन्यां विवाहयेत् ॥ २११ ॥

yāvan na lajjate kanyā yāvat krīḍati pāṃsunā |
yāvat tiṣṭhati go-mārge tāvat kanyāṃ vivāhayet || 3.211 ||

A girl should be given in marriage, while she has not yet developed shyness, while she is still playing in the dust and follows in the path of a cow. ( गो-मार्गे- go marge- may have a different interpretation)

माता चैव पिता चैव ज्येष्ठ-भ्राता तथैव च ।
त्रयस् ते नरकं यान्ति दृष्ट्वा कन्यां रजस्वलाम् ॥ २१२ ॥

mātā caiva pitā caiva jyeṣṭha-bhrātā tathaiva ca |
trayas te narakaṃ yānti dṛṣṭvā kanyāṃ rajasvalām || 3.212 ||

Not performing the marriage of an eligible bride, the mother, father and elder brother, these three will have to go to hell.

कुलं च शीलं च सनाथतां च

विद्यां च वित्तं च वपुर् वयश् च ।
एतान् गुणान् सप्तान् सप्त परीक्ष्य

देया कन्या बुधैः शेषम् अचिन्तनीयम् ॥ २१३ ॥

kulaṃ ca śīlaṃ ca sanāthatāṃ ca

vidyāṃ ca vittaṃ ca vapur vayaś ca |
etān guṇān saptān sapta parīkṣya

deyā kanyā budhaiḥ śeṣam acintanīyam || 3.213 ||

Before giving a girl in marriage these seven factors should be satisfied for compatibility- Family, character, previous connections, education, property, physique and age. Other things need no consideration.
