Non-interference in others' affairs, constant diligence in one's own, effort in protecting one's own [people] — this is the mark of prosperity. A man unperturbed in adversity, skillful, ever active, vigilant and humble in soul — he always sees what is good. Giving away wealth at the sacrificial ground, enjoying pleasant delights, sporting with women free of care — be at peace, O bull of the Bharatas.

Dhritarashtra paints the image of the prosperous man: occupied with his own affairs, not meddling in another's, unperturbed in misfortune, vigilant. It is significant that his good lies not in seizure but in the faithful doing of his own work: happiness comes through diligence toward one's own duty, not through encroaching on another's portion. The verse teaches that peace of soul is born from concentration on one's own field: whoever has ceased to count another's possessions has enough of his own. And the counsel 'be at peace' (prashamya) is the highest medicine — not to gain more, but to still the thirst for more. Yet it is bitter that the one counseling peace does not himself hold firm to it; and his words, however wise, will break against the resolve of a son who seeks not peace but ascendancy.
