उत्सादयति यः सर्वं यशसा स वियुज्यते । अकीर्तिं सर्वभूतेषु शाश्वतीं स नियच्छति॥५-७०-६१॥
Whoever destroys everything for the sake of reputation is cut off from true fame; instead he wins enduring ill-repute among all beings.
english translation
न हि वैराणि शाम्यन्ति दीर्घकालकृतान्यपि । आख्यातारश्च विद्यन्ते पुमांश्चोत्पद्यते कुले॥५-७०-६२॥
For enmities do not become pacified, even when formed long ago. There are always narrators who recount them, and in the lineage new men are born.
english translation
न चापि वैरं वैरेण केशव व्युपशाम्यति । हविषाग्निर्यथा कृष्ण भूय एवाभिवर्धते॥५-७०-६३॥
Nor is enmity pacified by enmity, O Keśava. Like fire fed with oblations, O Kṛṣṇa, it only grows further.
english translation
अतोऽन्यथा नास्ति शान्तिर्नित्यमन्तरमन्ततः । अन्तरं लिप्समानानामयं दोषो निरन्तरः॥५-७०-६४॥
Therefore there is no peace otherwise: inwardly, one is ever seeking an opening. For those who crave an advantage or a gap, this fault persists without interruption.
english translation
पौरुषेयो हि बलवानाधिर्हृदयबाधनः । तस्य त्यागेन वा शान्तिर्निवृत्त्या मनसोऽपि वा॥५-७०-६५॥
O Krishna, distress born of human agency is indeed powerful and weighs upon the heart. Peace arises either by relinquishing its cause, or even by withdrawing the mind from it.
