PEACE-सन्धिः-SANDHIH-12(Hitopadesa)

 SUBHASHITHANI:602

सुखास्वाद-परो यस् तु संसारे सत्-समागमः ।
स वियोगावसानत्वाद् दुःखानां धुरि युज्यते ॥ ८३ ॥

sukhāsvāda-paro yas tu saṃsāre sat-samāgamaḥ |
sa viyogāvasānatvād duḥkhānāṃ dhuri yujyate || 4.83 ||

In this world the flavour of happiness is attributed to the association of the wise; but the same is set at the top of miseries as it ends in separation.

अत एव हि नेच्छन्ति साधवः सत्-समागमम् ।
यद्-वियोगासि-लूनस्य मनसो नास्ति भेषजम् ॥ ८४ ॥
ata eva hi necchanti sādhavaḥ sat-samāgamam |
yad-viyogāsi-lūnasya manaso nāsti bheṣajam || 4.84 ||
It is for this reason that virtuous do not desire the association of the good; for there is no medicine for the wound inflicted by the sword of separation.

सुकृतान्य् अपि कर्माणि राजभिः सगरादिभिः ।
अथ तान्य् एव कर्माणि ते चापि प्रलयं गताः ॥ ८५ ॥

sukṛtāny api karmāṇi rājabhiḥ sagarādibhiḥ |
atha tāny eva karmāṇi te cāpi pralayaṃ gatāḥ || 4.85 ||

Many acts of greatness were achieved by kings like Sagara and others but all their acts and they themselves have gone in to oblivion.

संचिन्त्य संचिन्त्य तम् उग्र-दण्डं

मृत्युं मनुष्यस्य विचक्षणस्य ।
वर्षाम्बु-सिक्ता इव चर्म-बन्धाः

सर्वे प्रयत्नाः शिथिलीभवन्ति ॥ ८६ ॥

saṃcintya saṃcintya tam ugra-daṇḍaṃ

mṛtyuṃ manuṣyasya vicakṣaṇasya |
varṣāmbu-siktā iva carma-bandhāḥ

sarve prayatnāḥ śithilībhavanti || 4.86 ||

Repeated contemplation on the inexorable punisher death, all the efforts of wise men become relaxed; just as the leather straps soaked in rain water.

याम् एव रात्रिं प्रथमाम् उपैति

 गर्भे निवासं नरवीर लोकः ।
ततः प्रभृत्य् अस्खलित-प्रयाणः

स प्रत्यहं मृत्यु-समीपम् एति ॥ ८७ ॥

yām eva rātriṃ prathamām upaiti

garbhe nivāsaṃ naravīra lokaḥ |
tataḥ prabhṛty askhalita-prayāṇaḥ

sa pratyahaṃ mṛtyu-samīpam eti || 4.87 |

The very first night in which human being comes to reside in the womb, moving steadily forward from that day onward, he proceeds day by day towards death.|

अज्ञानं कारणं न स्याद् वियोगो यदि कारणम् ।
शोको दिनेषु गच्छत्सु वर्धताम् अपयाति किम् ॥ ८८ ॥

ajñānaṃ kāraṇaṃ na syād viyogo yadi kāraṇam |
śoko dineṣu gacchatsu vardhatām apayāti kim || 4.88 ||

If separation be the cause and ignorance is not the cause, then why after a time lapse sorrow goes away?

अकाण्ड-पात-जातानाम् अस्त्राणां मर्म-भेदिनाम् ।
गाढ-शोक-प्रहाराणाम् अचिन्तैव महौषधम् ॥ ८९ ॥

akāṇḍa-pāta-jātānām astrāṇāṃ marma-bhedinām |
gāḍha-śoka-prahārāṇām acintaiva mahauṣadham || 4.89 ||

Deep wounds of sorrow which falls unexpectedly, which are fresh, and which pierces the vital-parts, not thinking of them is the best medicine.

वनेऽपि दोषाः प्रभवन्ति रागिणां
गृहेऽपि पञ्चेन्द्रिय-निग्रहस् तपः ।
अकुत्सिते कर्मणि यः प्रवर्तते
निवृत्तरागस्य गृहं तपोवनम् ॥
vane'pi doṣāḥ prabhavanti rāgiṇāṃ
gṛhe'pi pañcendriya-nigrahas tapaḥ |
akutsite karmaṇi yaḥ pravartate
nirvṛtta-rāgasya gṛhaṃ tapovanam || 4.90 ||
For persons who are full of desires even in a forest will not attain peace. While a man who has controlled his senses can find peace even in  his house. If one abstains from evil ways and drops all desires his own home is a tapovanam.
