TEXT 17
दीर्घं श्वसन्ती वृजिनस्य पार- मपश्यती बालकमाह बाला । मामङ्गलं तात परेषु मंस्या भुङ्क्ते जनो यत्परदुःखदस्तत् ॥१७॥
dīrgham śvasantī vṛjinasya pāram apaśyatī bālakam āha bālā māmaṅgalam tāta pareṣu maṁsthā bhuṅkte jano yat para-duḥkhadas tat
dīrgham—heavy; śvasantī—breathing; vṛjinasya—of the danger; pāram—limitation; apaśyatī—without finding; bālakam—to her son; āha—said; bālā—the lady; mā—let there not be; amaṅgalam—ill fortune; tāta—my dear son; pareṣu—unto others; maṁsthā—desire; bhuṅkte—suffered; janaḥ—person; yat—that which; para-duḥkhadaḥ—who is apt to inflict pains upon others; tat—that.
TRANSLATION
She also was breathing very heavily, and she did not know the factual remedy for the painful situation. Not finding any remedy, she said to her son, My dear son, don't wish for anything inauspicious for others. Anyone who inflicts pains upon others suffers himself from that pain.
