Shloka 18

ययातिना पूरौ राज्याभिषेकः, दिक्प्रदानं, तृष्णा-वैराग्योपदेशः, वनप्रवेशः च

Devanagari script

नालमेकस्य तत्सर्वम् इति मत्वा शमं व्रजेत् यदा न कुरुते भावं सर्वभूतेषु पापकम्

Transliteration

nālamekasya tatsarvam iti matvā śamaṃ vrajet yadā na kurute bhāvaṃ sarvabhūteṣu pāpakam

Translation

Sa pagkaalam na ang lahat ng ito ay hindi para sa iisang tao lamang, dapat pumasok sa śama (kapayapaang-loob). Sapagkat tunay na nakakamtan ang kapayapaan kapag hindi nililinang ang makasalanan at mapanakit na hangarin laban sa alinmang nilalang.
