Shloka 26

Nārāyaṇa-tejas: Kṛṣṇa’s Vrata, the Fire-Manifestation, and the Sages’ Inquiry (अनुशासन पर्व, अध्याय १२६)

Devanagari script

दिष्टया नाभिभवन्ति त्वां दैवस्तेडयमनुग्रह: । “संसारके लोग उत्तम गुणवाले पुरुषकी ही अधिक प्रशंसा करते हैं। सौभाग्यकी बात है कि रूप

Translation

Blessed indeed: the power of fate does not overcome you—this is the great favor of the gods. In this world, people praise most of all the man endowed with the highest virtues. It is good fortune that pride in beauty, age, and wealth has no sway over you. This is a mighty divine grace upon you; of that there is no doubt.
