त्वयापि प्रतिपत्तव्यं तथैव भरतर्षभ ॥
स्वेषु बन्धुषु मुख्येषु मा मन्युवशम् अन्वगाः ॥
त्रिवर्गयुक्ता प्राज्ञानाम् आरम्भा भरतर्षभ ॥
धर्मार्थाव् अनुरुध्यन्ते त्रिवर्गासंभवे नराः ॥
पृथक् तु विनिविष्टानां धर्मं धीरो ऽनुरुध्यते ॥
मध्यमो ऽर्थं कलिं बालः कामम् एवानुरुध्यते ॥
इन्द्रियैः प्रसृतो लोभाद् धर्मं विप्रजहाति यः ॥
कामार्थाव् अनुपायेन लिप्समानो विनश्यति ॥
कामार्थौ लिप्समानस् तु धर्मम् एवादितश् चरेत् ॥
न हि धर्माद् अपैत्य् अर्थः कामो वापि कदा चन ॥

Traducción

"And you too must act in the same way, O bull among the Bharatas: toward your chief kinsmen, do not fall under the sway of anger. The undertakings of the wise, O bull among the Bharatas, are joined with the three aims of life; when the three aims cannot be attained together, men follow dharma and gain. But when the aims are separate, the steadfast follows dharma, the middling follows gain, and the fool, carrying Kali within, follows only desire. He who, carried away by the senses through greed, abandons dharma and seeks pleasure and gain by improper means, perishes. He who seeks pleasure and gain should from the very outset follow dharma alone, for gain and desire never depart from dharma."
