समुत्पन्ने च दुःखे च यस्य बुद्धिर्विशिष्यते ॥ तस्य दुखं विनश्येत सूर्ये दृष्टे यथा तमः ॥५१॥

When misfortune comes, if a person is keenly intelligent, his misfortunes perish even as darkness perishes when the sun rises.

english translation

बुद्धिर्यस्य बलं तस्य निर्बुद्धेस्तु कुतो बलम् ॥ कूपे सिंहो मदोन्मत्तश्शशकेन निपातितः ॥ ५२ ॥

He who has intelligence possesses strength as well. How can he who is devoid of intellect have strength? The proud lion was drowned in a well with a trick by a little hare.

english translation

वेदशास्त्रपुराणेषु बालकस्य यथोदितम् ॥ त्वया कृतं तु तत्सर्वं धर्मस्य परिपालनम्॥५३॥

Whatever has been mentioned in the Vedas, Śāstras and Purāṇas for a boy, all that has been performed by you, namely, the observance of virtue.

english translation

सम्यक्कृतं त्वया यच्च तत्केनापि भवेदिह॥ आवाभ्यां मानितं तच्च नान्यथा क्रियतेऽधुना॥५४॥

What has been executed by you shall be done by anyone. We have honoured it. It will not be altered now.

ब्रह्मोवाच॥ इत्युक्त्वा तौ समाश्वास्य गणेशं बुद्धिसागरम्॥ विवाहकरणे चास्य मतिं चक्रतुरुत्तमाम्॥५५॥

Brahmā said: After saying this and appeasing Gaṇeśa, the ocean of intelligence, they resolved to perform his marriage.
