BORI CE: 12-115-001 युधिष्ठिर उवाच |
MN DUTT: 07-114-001 युधिष्ठिर उवाच विद्वान् मूर्खप्रगल्भेन मृदुतीक्ष्णेन भारत |
M. N. Dutt: Yudhishthira said How, O Bharata, should a learned and modest man behave, O chastiser of foes, when attacked with harsh speeches in the court by an ignorant person puffed up with conceit? |
|
BORI CE: 12-115-002 भीष्म उवाच |
MN DUTT: 07-114-002 भीष्म उवाच श्रूयतां पृथिवीपाल यथैषोऽर्थोऽनुगीयते |
M. N. Dutt: Bhishma said Listen, O king, how this subject has been treated of (in the scriptures), i.e. how a person of good soul should endure in this world the abusive words of foolish persons. |
|
BORI CE: 12-115-003 अरुष्यन्क्रुश्यमानस्य सुकृतं नाम विन्दति |
MN DUTT: 07-114-003 अरुष्यन् क्रुश्यमानस्य सुकृतं नाम विन्दति |
M. N. Dutt: If a person, when abused my another, does not become irate, he is then sure to win the merit of all the good deeds that have been done by the abuser. The endurer, in such a case, transfers the demerit of all his own bad deeds to the person who being angry abuses him. |

BORI CE: 12-115-004 टिट्टिभं तमुपेक्षेत वाशमानमिवातुरम् BORI CE: 12-115-005 इति स श्लाघते नित्यं तेन पापेन कर्मणा BORI CE: 12-115-006 श्लाघन्नश्लाघनीयेन कर्मणा निरपत्रपः |
MN DUTT: 07-114-004 टिट्टिभं तमुपेक्षेत वाशमानमिवातुरम् MN DUTT: 07-114-005 स तत्र वीडितः शुष्को मृतकल्पोऽवतिष्ठते MN DUTT: 07-114-006 उपेक्षितव्यो यत्नेन तादृशः पुरुषाधमः |
M. N. Dutt: An intelligent man should pay no attention to an utterer of abusive words who resembles, after all, only a Tittibha uttering dissonant notes. One, who is possessed by hate is said to live in vain. A fool is often heard to say,-I addressed such words to such a respectable man amid such an assembly of men!-and to cven boast of that wicked act. He would add,-Abused by me, the man stood silent as if dead with shame!-Even thus does a shameless man boast of an act of which he should never boast. Such a wretched wight should carefully be disregarded. The wise man should endure every thing that such a foolish person may say. |

BORI CE: 12-115-007 यद्यद्ब्रूयादल्पमतिस्तत्तदस्य सहेत्सदा |
MN DUTT: 07-114-007 प्राकृतो हि प्रशंसन् वा निन्दन वा किं करिष्यति |

MN DUTT: 07-114-008 यदि वाग्भिः प्रयोगः स्यात् प्रयोगे पापकर्मणः |
M. N. Dutt: If those, who blame others by only their words, could establish those accusations by such means, then, perhaps, their words would have been considered to be of some value. However, their words are as effective as those uttered by fools invoking death upon them with whom they fall out. |
|
BORI CE: 12-115-009 निषेकं विपरीतं स आचष्टे वृत्तचेष्टया |
MN DUTT: 07-114-009 निषेकं विपरीतं स आचष्टे वृत्तचेष्टया |

M. N. Dutt: A person of pure conduct should never even speak with that sinful person, who does not scruple to utter anything or do anything. |
|
BORI CE: 12-115-011 प्रत्यक्षं गुणवादी यः परोक्षं तु विनिन्दकः |
MN DUTT: 07-114-011 प्रत्यक्षं गुणवादी यः परोक्षे चापि निन्दकः |
M. N. Dutt: That man, who speaks of one's qualities when the latter marks him and who speaks ill of him when he does not see him, is really like a dog. Such a person does not acquire heaven and the fruits of any knowledge and virtue that he may have. |

MN DUTT: 07-114-013 तस्मात् प्राज्ञो नरः सद्यस्तादृशं पापचेतसम् |
M. N. Dutt: A wise man, therefore, should unhesitatingly avoid such a sinful person who should always be shunned by all honest men, as he would avoid the flesh of the dog. |

M. N. Dutt: If an honest man wishes to speak to such wretches when they try to humiliate him, he should thus be advised,-Do not allow yourself to be afflicted. A wordy torrents between a high and a low person is always disapproved by persons of sober intelligence. |
|
BORI CE: 12-115-019 क्रुद्धो दशार्धेन हि ताडयेद्वा; स पांसुभिर्वापकिरेत्तुषैर्वा |
