यद्यदिच्छन्ति तन्मार्गमभिगच्छन्ति मानवाः । न मे निन्दाप्रशंसाभ्यां ह्रासवृद्धी भविष्यतः ॥

yadyadicchanti tanmārgamabhigacchanti mānavāḥ | na me nindāpraśaṃsābhyāṃ hrāsavṛddhī bhaviṣyataḥ ||

People go along whatever path they wish. Through blame or praise there will be neither loss nor gain for me.

मनुष्य जो-जो चाहते हैं, उसी मार्ग पर चलते हैं। निंदा या प्रशंसा से मेरी न कोई हानि होगी, न वृद्धि।

लोग जो चाहें सोचेंगे और कहेंगे। आप जो हैं, वह उनकी निंदा से घटता नहीं और उनकी प्रशंसा से बढ़ता नहीं।
