Durgātitaraṇa—Conduct for Crossing Difficulties (दुर्गातितरणम्)
ये दम्भान्नाचरन्ति सम येषां वृत्तिश्व संयता । विषयांश्व निगृह्लन्ति दुर्गाण्यतितरन्ति ते,जो दम्भयुक्त आचरण नहीं करते, जिनकी जीविका नियमानुकूल चलती है और जो विषयोंके लिये बढ़ती हुई इच्छाको रोकते हैं, वे दुःखोंको लाँघ जाते हैं
ye dambhān nācaranti samaṁ yeṣāṁ vṛttiś ca saṁyatā | viṣayāṁś ca nigṛhṇanti durgāṇy atitaranti te ||
ଯେମାନେ ଦମ୍ଭାଚରଣ କରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ, ଯାହାଙ୍କ ଜୀବିକା ସଂଯମିତ, ଏବଂ ଯେମାନେ ବିଷୟାସକ୍ତି ଓ ବଢ଼ୁଥିବା ଇଚ୍ଛାକୁ ନିଗ୍ରହ କରନ୍ତି—ସେମାନେ ଦୁର୍ଗମ ଦୁଃଖକୁ ଅତିକ୍ରମ କରନ୍ତି।
