Adhyāya 208: Aṅgirasī-kanyāḥ

Enumeration of Aṅgiras’ daughters and attribute-names

Devanagari script

कर्म चेक्किंचिदन्यत्‌ स्यादितरज्न तदाचरेत्‌ । यत्‌ कल्याणमभिध्यायेत्‌ तत्रात्मानं नियोजयेत्‌,यदि भूलसे कभी कोई निन्दित कर्म बन जाय तो फिर दुबारा वैसा काम न करे। अपने मन और बुद्धिसे विचार करनेपर जो कल्याणकारी प्रतीत हो, उसी कार्यमें अपनेको लगावे

Translation

Se houver alguma outra ação que deva ser feita, faça-se conforme a isso. E se, em algum momento, um ato vier a tornar-se censurável, não o repitas. Aquilo que, após ponderar com mente e discernimento, parecer benéfico, a essa obra deve-se dedicar a si mesmo.
