The Conduct That Lengthens Life

Verse 1 (13.161.1)

शतायुरुक्तः पुरुषः शतवीर्यश्च वैदिके । कस्मान्म्रियन्ते पुरुषा बाला अपि पितामह ॥

śatāyuruktaḥ puruṣaḥ śatavīryaśca vaidike | kasmānmriyante puruṣā bālā api pitāmaha

A man is said to live a hundred years, and to have a hundred-fold vigour, according to the Veda. Then why, grandsire, do men die, even children?

By what does a man become long-lived, or short-lived? By what does he win fame, and by what does he win prosperity?

Verse 3 (13.161.3)

तपसा ब्रह्मचर्येण जपैर्होमैस्तथा परैः । जन्मना यदि वाऽचारात्तन्मे ब्रूहि पितामह ॥

tapasā brahmacaryeṇa japairhomaistathā paraiḥ | janmanā yadi vā'cārāttanme brūhi pitāmaha

Is it through austerity, through chastity, through prayers and offerings, and through other means; or through birth, or through conduct? Tell me that, grandsire.

अत्र तेऽहं प्रवक्ष्यामि यन्मां त्वमनुपृच्छसि । अल्पायुर्येन भवति दीर्घायुर्येन मानवः ॥

atra te'haṃ pravakṣyāmi yanmāṃ tvamanupṛcchasi | alpāyuryena bhavati dīrghāyuryena mānavaḥ

yena vā labhate kīrtiṃ yena vā labhate śriyam | yathā ca vartayanpuruṣaḥ śreyasā samprayujyate

by what he wins fame, by what he wins prosperity, and how a man should live so as to be joined with the highest good.

Verse 6 (13.161.6)

आचाराल्लभते ह्यायुराचाराल्लभते श्रियम् । आचारात्कीर्तिमाप्नोति पुरुषः प्रेत्य चेह च ॥

durācāro hi puruṣo nehāyurvindate mahat | trasanti cāsya bhūtāni tathā paribhavanti ca

A man of bad conduct does not gain a long life in this world; creatures are frightened of him, and they treat him with contempt as well.

Verse 8 (13.161.8)

तस्मात्कुर्यादिहाचारं य इच्छेद्भूतिमात्मनः । अपि पापशरीरस्य आचारो हन्त्यलक्षणम् ॥

tasmātkuryādihācāraṃ ya icchedbhūtimātmanaḥ | api pāpaśarīrasya ācāro hantyalakṣaṇam

Therefore one who wishes his own well-being should practise good conduct in this world; good conduct destroys the ill marks even of one whose body is sinful.
