Conduct and Expiation for the Servant of Mendicants

Verse 1 (13.149.1)

एवं प्रयतितव्यं हि शुश्रूषार्थमतन्द्रितैः । सर्वाभिरुपसेवाभिस्तुष्यन्ति यतयो यथा ॥

evaṃ prayatitavyaṃ hi śuśrūṣārthamatandritaiḥ | sarvābhirupasevābhistuṣyanti yatayo yathā

Thus the tireless should strive in service, by every kind of attendance, so that the ascetics are pleased.

The page prints the heading "`पराशर उवाच" (13-149-1x, with a stray backtick) in this row; it is made the speaker and removed from the text. The CE has no speaker label at this point (its label "parāśaraḥ" at @010_0226 stands inside the previous verse), but Wikisource heads the speech. Corrected सर्वाभिरूपसेवाभिस् → सर्वाभिरुपसेवाभिस् (misprint in Wikisource; long ū for short u (उपसेवा); CE sarvābhir upasevābhiḥ).

Verse 2 (13.149.2)

नापराध्येत भिक्षोस्तु न चैनमवधीरयेत् । उत्तरं च न सन्दद्यात्क्रुद्धं चैव प्रसादयेत् ॥

nāparādhyeta bhikṣostu na cainamavadhīrayet | uttaraṃ ca na sandadyātkruddhaṃ caiva prasādayet

He should not offend a mendicant, nor treat him with disregard. He should not answer back, and if the mendicant is angry, he should appease him.

श्रेय एवाभिधातव्यं कर्तव्यं च प्रहृष्टवत् । तूष्णींभावेन वै तत्र न क्रुद्धमभिसंवदेत् ॥

śreya evābhidhātavyaṃ kartavyaṃ ca prahṛṣṭavat | tūṣṇīṃbhāvena vai tatra na kruddhamabhisaṃvadet

He should speak only what is for the good and act cheerfully. By keeping silent there, he should not argue with one who is angry.

नाददीत परस्वानि न गृह्णीयादयाचितम् । लब्धालब्धेन जीवेत तथैव परितोषयेत् ॥

nādadīta parasvāni na gṛhṇīyādayācitam | labdhālabdhena jīveta tathaiva paritoṣayet

He should not take what belongs to others, nor accept what has not been asked for. He should live on what he gets or does not get, and so give contentment.

कोपिनं तु न याचेत ज्ञानविद्वेषकारितः । स्थावरेषु दयां कुर्याज्जङ्गमेषु च प्राणिषु ॥

kopinaṃ tu na yāceta jñānavidveṣakāritaḥ | sthāvareṣu dayāṃ kuryājjaṅgameṣu ca prāṇiṣu

He should not beg from an angry man, one made so by hatred of knowledge. He should show compassion to creatures, both those that do not move and those that do.

Verse 6 (13.149.6)

यथाऽऽत्मनि तथाऽन्येषु समां दृष्टिं निपातयेत् । सर्वभूतेषु चात्मानं सर्वभूतानि चात्मनि । सम्पश्यमानो विचरन्ब्रह्मभूयाय कल्पते ॥

yathā''tmani tathā'nyeṣu samāṃ dṛṣṭiṃ nipātayet | sarvabhūteṣu cātmānaṃ sarvabhūtāni cātmani | sampaśyamāno vicaranbrahmabhūyāya kalpate

As toward himself, so toward others he should cast an equal eye. Seeing himself in all beings and all beings in himself, he moves about and becomes fit for becoming Brahman.

हिंसां वा यदि वाऽहिंसां न कुर्यादात्मकारणात् । यत्रेतरो भवेन्नित्यं दोषं तत्र न कारयेत् ॥

hiṃsāṃ vā yadi vā'hiṃsāṃ na kuryādātmakāraṇāt | yatretaro bhavennityaṃ doṣaṃ tatra na kārayet

Whether harm or non-harm, he should not do it for his own sake; where another would always bear the fault, he should not cause it to be committed.

Verse 8 (13.149.8)

एवं स मुच्यते दोषात्परानाश्रित्य वर्तयन् । आत्माश्रयेण दोषेण लिप्यते ह्यल्पबुद्धिमान् ॥

evaṃ sa mucyate doṣātparānāśritya vartayan | ātmāśrayeṇa doṣeṇa lipyate hyalpabuddhimān

So, living in dependence on others, he is freed from fault; the dull-witted man is stained by a fault that rests on himself.

Verse 10 (13.149.10)

For the sake of certainty for the enlightened, expiation is prescribed. As some other harm is laid down, so he should apportion the fault; this is the rule the teacher taught the pupil in his practice.

Verse 11 (13.149.11)

न हि लोभः प्रभवति हिंसा वाऽपि तदात्मिका । शास्त्रदर्शनमेतद्धि विहितं विश्वयोनिना ॥

na hi lobhaḥ prabhavati hiṃsā vā'pi tadātmikā | śāstradarśanametaddhi vihitaṃ viśvayoninā

yadyetadevaṃ manyeta śūdro hyapi ca buddhimān | kṛtaṃ kṛtavatāṃ gacchetkiṃ punaryo niṣevate

If even a wise Shudra thinks thus, he would reach what those who have accomplished it have reached; how much more the one who practises it?

Verse 15 (13.149.15)
