सर्वे क्षयान्ता निचयाः पतनान्ताः समुच्छ्रयाः । संयोगा विप्रयोगान्ता मरणान्तं च जीवितम् ॥ 7-52-11 ॥

"All accumulations end in destruction, all that rises high ends in a fall; unions end in separation, and life ends in death."

english translation

तस्मात्पुत्रेषु दारेषु मित्रेषु च धनेषु च । नातिप्रसङ्गः कर्तव्यो विप्रयोगो हि तैर्ध्रुवम् ॥ 7-52-12 ॥

"Therefore one should not form excessive attachment to sons, to wives, to friends, or to wealth, for separation from them is certain."

english translation

शक्तस्त्वमात्मना ऽ ऽत्मानं विनेतुं मनसैव हि । लोकान्सर्वांश्च काकुत्स्थ किं पुनः शोकमात्मनः ॥ 7-52-13 ॥

"You are able by your own mind alone to discipline yourself, and indeed all the worlds, O Kakutstha; how much more, then, the grief of your own self?"

english translation

नेदृशेषु विमुह्यन्ति त्वद्विधाः पुरुषर्षभाः । अपवादः स किल ते पुनरेष्यति राघव ॥ 7-52-14 ॥

"Bulls among men such as you do not lose themselves in matters like these. That ill-repute will indeed come back to you again, O Raghava."

english translation

यदर्थं मैथिली त्यक्ता अपवादभयान्नृप । सो ऽपवादः पुरे राजन्भविष्यति न संशयः ॥ 7-52-15 ॥

"The slander on whose account Maithili was forsaken out of fear of ill-repute, O king — that slander will arise in the city, there is no doubt of it."
