अधनस्याकृतार्थस्य त्यक्तस्य विविधैः फलैः । ऋणं धारयमाणस्य कुतः सुखमनीहया॥५-१०५-६॥
For one without wealth, whose purpose is unfulfilled, who has been deprived of various gains, and who bears a debt—how can there be any ease without effective effort?
english translation
सुहृदां हि धनं भुक्त्वा कृत्वा प्रणयमीप्सितम् । प्रतिकर्तुमशक्तस्य जीवितान्मरणं वरम्॥५-१०५-७॥
Having used the wealth of well-wishers and received the desired favor, for one who is unable to repay, death is preferable to continued living.
english translation
प्रतिश्रुत्य करिष्येति कर्तव्यं तदकुर्वतः । मिथ्यावचनदग्धस्य इष्टापूर्तं प्रणश्यति॥५-१०५-८॥
For one who, having promised, “I will do it,” does not perform that duty, the merit of sacrifices and public benefactions perishes, as though burned by false speech.
english translation
न रूपमनृतस्यास्ति नानृतस्यास्ति संततिः । नानृतस्याधिपत्यं च कुत एव गतिः शुभा॥५-१०५-९॥
Falsehood has no true dignity; falsehood yields no stable lineage; falsehood gains no legitimate authority—how, then, could there be an auspicious end for it?
english translation
कुतः कृतघ्नस्य यशः कुतः स्थानं कुतः सुखम् । अश्रद्धेयः कृतघ्नो हि कृतघ्ने नास्ति निष्कृतिः॥५-१०५-१०॥
How could the ungrateful attain reputation, standing, or well-being? The ungrateful is inherently untrustworthy; for ingratitude there is no real expiation.
