english translation

सनेहमूलानि दुःखानि सनेहजानि भयानि च शॊकहर्षौ तथायासः सर्वं सनेहात परवर्तते ॥ ३-२-२७ ॥

'Sorrows are rooted in attachment, Fears are born from attachment. Grief and joy, as well as exertion, All originate from attachment.' ॥ 3-2-27 ॥

english translation

कॊटराग्निर यथाशेषं समूलं पादपं दहेत धर्मार्थिनं तथाल्पॊ ऽपि रागदॊषॊ विनाशयेत ॥ ३-२-२९ ॥

'Just as a small ember can burn a tree down to its roots, so too does even a small amount of affection destroy both virtue and benefit.' ॥ 3-2-29 ॥

english translation

विप्रयॊगे न तु तयागी दॊषदर्शी समागमात विरागं भजते जन्तुर निर्वैरॊ निष्परिग्रहः ॥ ३-२-३० ॥

'One who merely withdraws from worldly possessions cannot be considered to have truly renounced the world. True renunciation is achieved by someone who, despite being in contact with the world, recognizes its faults. A person who is free from all passions and dependent on nothing has genuinely renounced the world.' ॥ 3-2-30 ॥
