क्षमेदशक्तः सर्वस्य शक्तिमान्धर्मकारणात् । अर्थानर्थौ समौ यस्य तस्य नित्यं क्षमा हिता॥५-३९-४६॥
The powerless should forbear toward everyone; the powerful should forbear for the sake of dharma. For one to whom gain and loss are equal, forbearance is always beneficial.
english translation
यत्सुखं सेवमानोऽपि धर्मार्थाभ्यां न हीयते । कामं तदुपसेवेत न मूढव्रतमाचरेत्॥५-३९-४७॥
Let one pursue that pleasure which, even when enjoyed, does not diminish dharma and artha; one should not take up a foolish vow or a rigid observance.
english translation
दुःखार्तेषु प्रमत्तेषु नास्तिकेष्वलसेषु च । न श्रीर्वसत्यदान्तेषु ये चोत्साहविवर्जिताः॥५-३९-४८॥
Prosperity does not dwell among those overwhelmed by distress, the negligent, the deniers of dharma, the indolent, the self-uncontrolled, and those devoid of initiative.
english translation
आर्जवेन नरं युक्तमार्जवात्सव्यपत्रपम् । अशक्तिमन्तं मन्यन्तो धर्षयन्ति कुबुद्धयः॥५-३९-४९॥
A person endowed with straightforwardness, and modest because of that very straightforwardness, is taken to be powerless; the ill-judging then harass him.
english translation
अत्यार्यमतिदातारमतिशूरमतिव्रतम् । प्रज्ञाभिमानिनं चैव श्रीर्भयान्नोपसर्पति॥५-३९-५०॥
Prosperity, out of apprehension, does not approach one who is excessively noble, excessively generous, excessively valorous, excessively rigid in vows, or proud of one’s own intelligence.
