Ti is not proper for you to boast or to be pussed up with pride, if some eulogize you. Honour and dishonour are fleeting as the colours of evening. The nature of the world is indeed strange.

Even a rich man if he be burning with jealousy, stinged by arrogance, cruel to others out of greed--if he be thus dull--witted, lives a miserable life. Such a man, indeed strives to destroy his auspicious future.
27 Never mind if a man cannot oblige others but he should not do nor tend to do ill to others. If a person cannot perform the special religious rites, he should at least refrain from commiting unrighteous deeds.
d . 28
.: Injury and the like are well-known as sins. If a person does not commit them and constantly adheres to the path of morality, even then he is sure to accomplish his spiritual welfare.
