নিন্দন্তু নীতিনিপুণা যদি বা স্তুবন্তু লক্ষ্মীঃ সমাবিশতু গচ্ছতু বা যথেষ্টম্। অদ্যৈব বা মরণমস্তু যুগান্তরে বা ন্যায্যাত্পথঃ প্রবিচলন্তি পদং ন ধীরাঃ॥

nindantu nītinipuṇā yadi vā stuvantu lakṣmīḥ samāviśatu gacchatu vā yatheṣṭam | adyaiva vā maraṇamastu yugāntare vā nyāyyātpathaḥ pravicalanti padaṃ na dhīrāḥ ||
4. English Meaning / आङ्ग्लार्थः
Let those well-versed in policy praise them or criticize them; let wealth come to them or leave them as it pleases; let death come to them today itself or after an epoch—wise and courageous men do not deviate even a single step from the path of justice (dharma).
5. বাংলা অর্থ / Bengali Meaning
নীতিশাস্ত্র বিশারদরা নিন্দা করুন বা প্রশংসা করুন; ধনসম্পদ আসুক বা নিজের ইচ্ছামতো চলে যাক; মৃত্যু আজই হোক বা যুগান্তরের পরেই হোক—যাঁরা ধৈর্যশীল এবং ধীরপ্রকৃতির, তাঁরা ন্যায়ের পথ থেকে এক পা-ও বিচ্যুত হন না।
6. हिन्दी अर्थ / Hindi Meaning
नीति में निपुण लोग निंदा करें या स्तुति करें; लक्ष्मी आए या अपनी इच्छानुसार चली जाए; मृत्यु आज ही हो जाए या युगों के बाद हो—जो धैर्यवान पुरुष हैं, वे न्याय (धर्म) के मार्ग से एक कदम भी नहीं डिगते।

नीतौ कुशलाः जनाः धीरपुरुषाणां निन्दां कुर्वन्तु अथवा प्रशंसां कुर्वन्तु, तेषां पार्श्वे धनम् आगच्छतु अथवा गच्छतु, तेषाम् मृत्युः अद्य भवेत् अथवा युगान्तरानन्तरं भवेत्, तथापि धीरपुरुषाः न्यायमार्गात् (धर्ममार्गात्) कदापि न विचलन्ति।
