सज्जनः ।
Acknowledgment of others' good qualities, a heart capable of following the wishes of others, salutary and sweet words, admitting one's own defects : these are the secrets to enchant others without any incantation.
अ- परिक्षिय-कय- कज्जं सिद्धपि न सजणा पसंसंति । सुपरिखियं पुणोवि हु कियंपि न जणेइ वयणिज्जं ॥ १५ ॥ अपरीक्षितकृतकार्यं सिद्धमपि न सज्जनाः प्रशंसन्ति । सुपरीक्षितं पुनरपि खलु कृतमपि न जनयति वचनीयम् ॥१५॥
The virtuons do not praise even the success of an act not tested before, and well-tried thing though accomplished, does not receive censure ( ht. prodnce speech, looked upon with blame).
भद्दपणेव होअव्वं पावर भद्दाणि भओ । सविसो हष्णए सप्पो भेरुडो तत्थ मुञ्चइ ॥ १६ ॥
*
भद्रकेणैव भवितव्यं प्राप्नोति भद्राणि भद्रकः । सविषो हन्यते सर्पो द्वीपी तत्र मुच्यते ॥ १६ ॥
One should be of an amiable disposition; for a goodnatured person attain prosperity: a poisonons serpent (if found) is killed but a verunda (a species of leopard) is released.
