मैवं शक्र पुनः कार्षी: शान्तो भवितुम्हसि । त्वामप्येवंविध॑ ज्ञात्वा क्षिप्रमन््यं गमिष्यति,शक्र! अब फिर तुम ऐसा बर्ताव न करना। अब तुमको शान्ति धारण कर लेनी चाहिये। तुम्हें भी मेरी-जैसी स्थितिमें जानकर यह लक्ष्मी शीघ्र किसी दूसरेके पास चली जायगी

Educational Q&A
Prosperity is unstable and does not remain with one who is agitated, arrogant, or improperly behaved; therefore a ruler (even Indra) should cultivate calmness and self-restraint to be fit for Śrī (fortune).
Śakra (Indra) is being admonished not to repeat a certain improper conduct and is urged to become calm; the speaker warns that Lakṣmī/Śrī, recognizing such a flawed state even in him, will swiftly leave and go to another.
