यथाशक्ति चिकीर्षन्ति यथाशक्ति च कुर्वते । न किंचिदवमन्यन्ते पण्डिता भरतर्षभ॥५-३३-२१॥
The learned intend according to their capacity and act according to their capacity; they do not disparage anything, O bull among the Bharatas.
english translation
क्षिप्रं विजानाति चिरं शृणोति विज्ञाय चार्थं भजते न कामात् । नासंपृष्टो व्युपयुङ्क्ते परार्थे तत्प्रज्ञानं प्रथमं पण्डितस्य॥५-३३-२२॥
He understands swiftly, listens for a long time, and—having grasped the matter—pursues what is purposeful rather than what is driven by mere desire. Even unasked, he applies himself to another’s welfare. This is the first mark of discernment in a learned person.
english translation
नाप्राप्यमभिवाञ्छन्ति नष्टं नेच्छन्ति शोचितुम् । आपत्सु च न मुह्यन्ति नराः पण्डितबुद्धयः॥५-३३-२३॥
Those of learned judgment do not crave what cannot be obtained; they do not choose to grieve over what is lost; and in crises they do not become mentally disoriented.
english translation
निश्चित्य यः प्रक्रमते नान्तर्वसति कर्मणः । अवन्ध्यकालो वश्यात्मा स वै पण्डित उच्यते॥५-३३-२४॥
He who acts after due determination and does not waver in the midst of action—whose time is not squandered and whose self is disciplined—is called a learned person.
english translation
आर्यकर्मणि रज्यन्ते भूतिकर्माणि कुर्वते । हितं च नाभ्यसूयन्ति पण्डिता भरतर्षभ॥५-३३-२५॥
O bull among the Bharatas, the learned take delight in noble conduct, perform actions that sustain prosperity, and do not resent what is beneficial.
