Welfare, Steadfastness, and Norms of Giving
Devanagari script
न चैशि: पुण्यकर्माणो युज्यन्ते चाभिसंधिजै: । एवंविधैश्व बहुभिरपरै: प्राकृतेरपि,पुण्यकर्म करनेवाले मनुष्य इस तरहके उपायोंसे प्राण नहीं देते तथा ऐसे-ऐसे दूसरे अधम उपायोंसे भी उनकी मृत्यु नहीं होती
Transliteration
na caiśiḥ puṇyakarmāṇo yujyante cābhisaṃdhijaiḥ | evaṃvidhaiś ca bahubhir aparaiḥ prākṛter api ||
Translation
Parāśara said: Those who are devoted to meritorious deeds do not meet their end through contrived, scheming devices; nor do they perish by many other such base means that arise from ordinary, worldly nature. The verse underscores an ethical vision in which a life grounded in virtue is not easily overthrown by petty plots and ignoble stratagems.
