Genealogical Recitation

Devanagari script

दुःखैर्न तप्येन्न सुखै: प्रहष्येत्‌ समेन वर्तेत सदैव धीर: । दिष्टं बलीय इति मन्यमानो न संज्वरेन्नापि हृष्येत्‌ कथंचित्‌,दुःखोंसे संतप्त न हो और सुखोंसे हर्षित न हो। धीर पुरुष सदा समभावसे ही रहे और भाग्यको ही प्रबल मानकर किसी प्रकार चिन्ता एवं हर्षके वशीभूत न हो

Translation

O homem firme não deve arder com as dores nem exultar com os prazeres; deve sempre conduzir-se com equanimidade. Considerando que “o destino (daiva) é mais poderoso”, não se deixa dominar, de modo algum, nem pela aflição nem pelo júbilo.
