Vrihaspati

I will not abandon someone who has sought my protection. You are virtuous and truthful, and I will not abandon you.

I do not want to do anything wrong, especially since I am a Brahmana who knows what is right, values truth, and is aware of the principles of virtue.

Contentment is the highest state of being; it is the greatest bliss. There is nothing greater than contentment, and it stands above all else.

When someone withdraws all their desires, just like a tortoise pulls in its limbs, the natural brilliance of their soul soon becomes apparent.

When someone, in both words and thoughts, seeks to harm no one and harbors no desires, they are said to attain the state of Brahma.

Effort led to the attainment of amrita, the defeat of the Asuras, and Indra's sovereignty over heaven and earth.

According to Vrihaspati, a wise king should always avoid war for territorial expansion.

एक राजा जो अपने सभी कर्तव्यों का पालन करता है और पृथ्वी की रक्षा करता है और अपने शहरों की भी रक्षा करता है, स्वर्ग में महान खुशी प्राप्त करता है।

Vrihaspati replied, 'The one thing that, when practiced, makes a person respected and famous among all creatures is agreeableness of speech.'

A wicked person is one who speaks ill of others behind their backs, feels envious of their achievements, and remains silent when others' good qualities are being praised, feeling hesitant to join in.

One is born alone, dies alone, faces difficulties alone, and suffers alone.

The person who practices the religion of universal compassion achieves the highest good.

The person who, for their own happiness, kills harmless creatures with the rod of punishment, will never attain happiness in the next world.

Even if the fundamental forces of nature were to change, I will remain committed to the truth I have spoken.

One should hide their true feelings and, without genuinely trusting one's enemy, behave as if they were completely trusted.

Just as a snake devours a mouse, the Earth consumes a king who is inclined towards peace and a Brahmana who is overly attached to a domestic life.

Vrihaspati said, 'The duties of all people have their root in the king. It is only due to the fear of the king that people do not harm one another.'

Sakra asked, 'What is the one act that, when done carefully, makes a person respected and famous among all creatures?'

One should never try to subdue one's enemies through quarreling. It is only the childish and wrathful who seek to quarrel.

You are the lord of all creatures, and the worlds are established in you. You have destroyed Namuchi, Viswarupa, and Vala.
