सर्पस्या"स्यगतम्पश्यन्यस्तु रक्ष्यमुपेक्षते ॥ दोषाभासान्समुत्प्रेक्ष्य फलतः सो ऽपि निर्घृणः ॥ ४१ ॥
He who neglects the man worthy of being protected on considering the apparent defaults though he observes his plight is in effect ruthless.
english translation
तस्माद्घृणा गुणायैव सर्वथेति न संमतम् ॥ संमतं प्राप्तकामित्वं सर्वं त्वन्यदसम्मतम् ॥ ४२ ॥
Hence it is not generally agreed that kindliness is conducive to good in every respect. What is admitted is the performance of what is befitting. Everything else is unapproved.
english translation
मूर्त्यात्मस्वपि रागाद्या दोषाः सन्त्येव वस्तुतः ॥ तथापि तेषामेवैते न शिवस्य तु सर्वथा ॥ अग्नावपि समाविष्टं ताम्रं खलु सकालिकम् ॥ ४३ ॥
In reality, even in the form of the self, there are evils such as passion. Yet these are not the same as Lord Śiva’s. Copper is indeed incorporated into the fire at the same time.
english translation
इति नाग्निरसौ दुष्येत्ताम्रसंसर्गकारणात् ॥ नाग्नेरशुचिसंसर्गादशुचित्वमपेक्षते ॥ ४४ ॥
Thus the taste of fire is not contaminated by contact with copper. It does not require impurity from unclean contact with fire.
english translation
अशुचेस्त्वग्निसंयोगाच्छुचित्वमपि जायते ॥ एवं शोध्यात्मसंसर्गान्न ह्यशुद्धः शिवो भवेत् ॥ ४५ ॥
The combination of the impure with fire also leads to purity. Thus one should purify himself by association with himself and not become impure and auspicious.
