PEACE-सन्धिः-SANDHIH-13(Hitopadesa)

 SUBHASHITHANI:603

दुःखितो ऽपि चरेद् धर्मं यत्र कुत्राश्रमे रतः ।
समः सर्वेषु भूतेषु न लिङ्गं धर्म-कारणम् ॥ ९१ ॥

duḥkhito 'pi cared dharmaṃ yatra kutrāśrame rataḥ |
samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu na liṅgaṃ dharma-kāraṇam || 4.91 ||

Afflicted person, whatever stage of life (ashrama) he is in, should follow his duties treating all beings as equal; external symbols alone will not amount to practice of dharma.

वृत्त्य्-अर्थं भोजनं येषां सन्तानार्थं च मैथुनम् ।
वाक् सत्य-वचनार्थाय दुर्गाण्य् अपि तरन्ति ते ॥ ९२ ॥
vṛtty-arthaṃ bhojanaṃ yeṣāṃ santānārthaṃ ca maithunam |
vāk satya-vacanārthāya durgāṇy api taranti te || 4.92 ||
They over come all obstacles who eat for sustenance, marry for the sake of progeny, and  speak for the sake of  truth.

आत्मा नदी संयम् अपुण्य-तीर्था

सत्योदका शील-तटा दयोर्मिः ।
तत्राभिषेकं कुरु पाण्डु-पुत्र

न वारिणा शुष्यति चान्तरात्मा ॥ ९३ ॥

ātmā nadī saṃyam apuṇya-tīrthā

satyodakā śīla-taṭā dayormiḥ |
tatrābhiṣekaṃ kuru pāṇḍu-putra

na vāriṇā śuṣyati cāntarātmā || 4.93 ||

Assuming one’ soul as a river and whose holy confluence is self-restraint, of which truth is the water, good character the banks, compassion the current; and then o! Dharma putra, purify yourself there in; inward purification is not possible by water.

 जन्म-मृत्यु-जरा-व्याधि-वेदनाभिर् उपद्रुतम् ।

संसारम् इमम् उत्पन्नम् असारं त्यजतः सुखम् ॥ ९४ ॥

janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi-vedanābhir upadrutam |
saṃsāram imam utpannam asāraṃ tyajataḥ sukham ||4.94 ||

This worthless world with overwhelming pains of birth, death, old age,and  diseases should be renounced by one seeking happiness.

दुःखम् एवास्ति न सुखं यस्मात् तद् उपलक्ष्यते ।
दुःखार्तस्य प्रतीकारे सुख-संज्ञा विधीयते ॥ ९५ ॥

duḥkham evāsti na sukhaṃ yasmāt tad upalakṣyate |
duḥkhārtasya pratīkāre sukha-saṃjñā vidhīyate || 4.95 ||

Pain is real and not happiness as pain is observed; happiness is in fact nothing but removal of pain of one afflicted with sorrow.

सङ्गः सर्वात्मना त्याज्यः स चेत् त्यक्तुं न शक्यते ।
स सद्भिः सह कर्तव्यः सतां सङ्गो हि भेषजम् ॥ ९६ ॥

saṅgaḥ sarvātmanā tyājyaḥ sa cet tyaktuṃ na śakyate |
sa sadbhiḥ saha kartavyaḥ satāṃ saṅgo hi bheṣajam ||4.96 ||

Association of people should be avoided; if it is not possible it should be only with the good. The association with the good is a medicine against attachment.

कामः सर्वात्मना हेयः स चेद् धातुं न शक्यते ।
स्व-भार्यां प्रति कर्तव्यः सैव तस्य हि भेषजम् ॥ ९७ ॥

kāmaḥ sarvātmanā heyaḥ sa ced dhātuṃ na śakyate |
sva-bhāryāṃ prati kartavyaḥ saiva tasya hi bheṣajam ||4. 97 ||

Passion should be avoided with whole heart; if it is not possible that should be indulged only with one’s own wife: she is the best remedy.

न शरन्-मेघवत् कार्यं वृथैव घन-गर्जितम् ।
परस्यार्थम् अनर्थं वा प्रकाशयति नो महान् ॥ ९८ ॥

na śaran-meghavat kāryaṃ vṛthaiva ghana-garjitam |
parasyārtham anarthaṃ vā prakāśayati no mahān || 4.98 ||

It is in vain to thunder like the autumnal clouds; the wise do not reveal what they seek or not seek from others.
