Vidur ji says, At the time the life of a young person starts rising upwards, then when he stands up to welcome the old man, and bows down, he again receives the life in its original state.
A patient person should, when a saintly man comes to the house as a guest, first give him a seat, bring water to wash his feet, then inquire about his well-being and tell his condition, and then feed him considering it as a necessity.
Vedavetta Brahmin, whose house does not welcome water, honey, and cow because of greed, fear, or miserliness of the giver, the best man, that householder's life has been spent in vain.
Vaidya, rip-offer (Jarrah), corrupted by celibacy, thief, cruel drunkard, abortionist, soldier, and seller of Vedas, although they are not worthy of washing feet, yet if they come as guests, they are especially dear, i.e. worthy of respect.
Salt, cooked perfume, curd, milk, honey, oil, ghee, sesame, meat, fruits, roots, greens, red cloth, all kinds of fragrances, and jaggery, so many things are not sellable.
The one who does not get angry, considers lump-stone and subarna as one, sorrowless, free from treaty-virah, free from praise-criticism, renouncing what is dear and unpleasant, and is indifferent, he is a monk (sanyasi).
One who subsists by eating Nivar (wild rice), Kanda-mool, Ingad (Lisida), and Sago, controls the mind, performs Agnihotra, serves guests even while living in the forest, is always careful, that is a virtuous ascetic. (Vanaprasthi), has been considered the best.
By doing evil to a wise man, don't be sure on the belief that I am far away. The arms of the wise are very long, when persecuted, he takes revenge with those arms.
Do not trust the one who is not worthy of trust, but do not trust too much the one who is worthy of trust. The fear that arises from faith uproots the root as well.
A man should be a protector of women without jealousy, a lover who distributes property justly, should be clean, and should speak sweet words near women, but should never be under their control.
Women have been called Lakshmi of the house. She is very fortunate, holy, worthy of worship, and the beauty of the house. Therefore, they should be specially protected.
Hand over the work of protecting the inner city to the father, give the management of the kitchen to the mother, appoint a person like you to serve the cows, and do the work of agriculture yourself.
Trade and commerce through the servants, and serve the Brahmins through the sons. Fire was born from water, Kshatriya from Brahmin, and iron from stone. Even though their glory is spread everywhere, it becomes calm in its place of origin.
Born in a good family, bright like fire, forgiving, and free from vices, men always remain calm like fire in wood.
The king whose advice is not known even by his external and internal councillors, that king who keeps all and sundry, enjoys opulence for ever.
Don't tell before doing dharma, work, and economic work, show it by doing it. By doing this, your mantra is not revealed to others.
Mantrana should be done by climbing the top of the mountain, or on the palace, by going to a secluded place, or by grass in the forest etc., in an open place.
हे भरतवंशी, मित्र के परम मंत्र को जानने का कोई अधिकारी नहीं है।
Whether he is ignorant, or friendly, he is learned, or selfless.
The king should not make anyone his minister without examining him thoroughly, because the burden of getting money and protecting the mantra rests on the minister.
Whose Dharma, Artha, and work, are revealed only after the completion of all the works, that king is the best among all the kings. That king who keeps his mantra secret, undoubtedly gets success.
The one who does bad deeds out of attachment, loses his life as well due to the adverse consequences of those actions.
The rituals of good deeds are supposed to give happiness, but if they are not performed, then it is considered to be the reason for repentance.
Just as a Brahmin is not entitled to perform Shraddha without studying the Vedas, in the same way, without knowing the six gunas namely sandhi, vigraha, yana, asana, dvaidhibhava, and samashraya, no one is entitled to listen to secret mantras.
Rajan! The earth lives under that king, who is famous for the knowledge of the six gunas, who knows the condition, growth, and decline, and whose nature is admired by all.
Whose anger and joy do not go in vain, who takes care of the necessary work himself, and also knows the treasure himself, his earth is sure to give enough wealth.
Landlord should be satisfied with his king's name and royal style. Give enough money to the servants, don't grab all alone.
A Brahmin is known by a Brahmin, a woman by her husband, a minister by a king, and a king by a king.
An enemy who has come under control and is capable of being killed should never be released. If one's strength is not much, one should humbly spend time with him, and if he is strong, he should be killed, because if the enemy is not killed, fear soon appears from him.
Anger on deities, brahmins, kings, Buddhas, children and patients should always be curbed with effort.
Arguing unnecessarily is the work of fools, a wise man should avoid it, by doing this he gets success in the world, and does not have to face disaster.
People do not like such a king whose happiness has no effect, and whose anger is also in vain, as a woman does not like an impotent husband.
Wisdom is not for the attainment of wealth, nor is stupidity for prosperity. A wise man knows the history of the world and no one else.
A foolish man always disrespects respected men of knowledge, modesty, status, intelligence, wealth, and family.
One whose character is reprehensible, who is foolish, who sees faults in qualities, is irreligious, who utters bad words, and who is angry, misfortune soon befalls him.
Not cheating, giving charity, sticking to one's word, and doing good things well done, all these make all the ghosts their own.
A clever, grateful, intelligent, and simple king who does not cheat anyone, finds helpers even when the treasure is exhausted, that is, he gets helpers.
Patience, self-control, sense control, purity, kindness, gentle speech, and not betraying a friend, these seven things are going to increase Lakshmi.
Rajan! One who does not distribute wealth properly among his dependents, and who is wicked, ungrateful and shameless, such a king deserves to be discarded in this world.
The one who angers an innocent soulful person, even though he is guilty, cannot sleep peacefully at night like a man living in a house with snakes.
Accusing those on whom yoga and well-being are obstructed, those people should always be kept happy like a deity.
The money etc., which are handed over to women, promiscuous, fallen, and lowly men, they fall in doubt.
Rajan! Where the rule is in the hands of women, gamblers, and children, the people there drown in the sea of calamity like a person sitting on a stone boat in a river.
Those who are engaged in work as much as is necessary, do not put their hand in more, I consider them as pundits, because putting their hand in more is the cause of conflict.
The man who is praised by gamblers, whose praise is sung by charans, and who is praised by prostitutes, that man is as alive as dead.
Leaving aside those great archers, and the most resplendent Pandavas, you have placed the burden of this great opulence on Duryadhan.
That's why you will soon see Duryodhana, dead from that luxury, corrupted from this kingdom like Vali who has fallen from the kingdom of Tribhuvana.
