सर्वे यूयं महाभागा गन्धर्वाश्चैव सर्वशः । यद्ब्रूत तच्छ्रुतं सर्वं ममापि शृणुतानघाः ॥ ५-१०-२१॥
All of you are greatly blessed, and so too are the Gandharvas in every respect. Everything you have spoken has been fully heard by me; now, O blameless ones, listen also to what I have to say.
english translation
संधिः कथं वै भविता मम शक्रस्य चोभयोः । तेजसोर्हि द्वयोर्देवाः सख्यं वै भविता कथम्॥ ५-१०-२२॥
How, indeed, could a settlement arise between Śakra and me—between us both? For, O devas, how could friendship arise between two powers of such blazing intensity?
english translation
ऋषय ऊचुः । सकृत्सतां संगतं लिप्सितव्यं ततः परं भविता भव्यमेव । नातिक्रमेत्सत्पुरुषेण संगतं तस्मात्सतां संगतं लिप्सितव्यम् ॥ ५-१०-२३॥
The sages said: One should seek even a single association with the virtuous; thereafter, what ought to occur will occur. One should not transgress an association made with a good person; therefore, association with the virtuous is to be sought.
english translation
दृढं सतां संगतं चापि नित्यं ब्रूयाच्चार्थं ह्यर्थकृच्छ्रेषु धीरः । महार्थवत्सत्पुरुषेण संगतं तस्मात्सन्तं न जिघांसेत धीरः॥ ५-१०-२४॥
Let one’s fellowship with the virtuous be steadfast and unceasing; and in times of hardship, the resolute should speak words that are purposeful and beneficial. Great indeed is the worth of keeping company with the good; therefore the steady-minded should not seek to harm a righteous person.
english translation
इन्द्रः सतां संमतश्च निवासश्च महात्मनाम् । सत्यवादी ह्यदीनश्च धर्मवित्सुविनिश्चितः ॥ ५-१०-२५ ॥
Indra is approved by the virtuous and is a refuge for the great-souled. He speaks truth, is not cast down, and stands firmly resolved in the knowledge of dharma.
