Shloka 11
कर्म–ज्ञान–दैव–स्वभावविचारः
Inquiry into Karma, Knowledge, Fate, and Nature
कल्याणं कुरुते बाढं पापमस्मिन्न विद्यते । न प्रीयते परानर्थस्तस्मात् सर्वत्र पूजित:
kalyāṇaṃ kurute bāḍhaṃ pāpam asmin na vidyate | na prīyate parānarthas tasmāt sarvatra pūjitaḥ ||
ते उदार मनाने सर्वांचे कल्याण करतात; त्यांच्या ठायी पापाचा लेशही नाही. दुसऱ्याच्या आपत्तीने ते आनंदित होत नाहीत; म्हणूनच त्यांचा सर्वत्र सन्मान होतो.

Educational Q&A
True virtue is shown by active benevolence and inner purity: one should work earnestly for others’ welfare, remain free from sinful intent, and never feel joy at another person’s suffering; such a person naturally earns respect everywhere.
Vāyudeva is describing the qualities of a commendable person: he consistently promotes universal welfare, is free from sin, and does not delight in others’ misfortune—explaining why such a person is honored in all places.
