12.223.19 Krishna to Ugrasena

नासूयत्यागमं कं चित्स्वं तपो नोपजीवति । अवन्ध्यकालो वश्यात्मा तस्मात्सर्वत्र पूजितः ॥

nāsūyatyāgamaṃ kaṃ citsvaṃ tapo nopajīvati | avandhyakālo vaśyātmā tasmātsarvatra pūjitaḥ ||

He disparages no sacred tradition; he does not make a living from his own austerity; his time is never wasted; he is self-controlled; therefore he is honoured everywhere.

वे किसी भी शास्त्र-परंपरा की निंदा नहीं करते; अपने तप को जीविका का साधन नहीं बनाते; उनका समय कभी व्यर्थ नहीं जाता; वे संयमी हैं; इसलिए वे सर्वत्र पूजित हैं।
