Garuda Purana

ये पदस्थस्य मित्त्राणि ते तस्य रिपुतां गताः । भानोः पद्मे जले प्रीतिः स्थलोद्धरणशोषणः ॥ १,११५.

Those who are friends to one established in his place become enemies when he is displaced; the sun delights in the lotus in water, but dries it up when it is taken out onto land.

स्थानस्थितानि पूज्यन्ते पूज्यन्ते च पदे स्थिताः । स्थानभ्रष्टा न पूज्यन्ते केशा दन्ता नखा नराः ॥ १,११५.

Those who remain in their place are honored, as are those who remain in their position; but those who have fallen from their place—hair, teeth, nails, and people—are not honored.

आचारः कुलमाख्यति देशमाख्याति भाषितम् । सम्भ्रमः स्नेहमाख्याति वपुराख्याति भोजनम् ॥ १,११५.

Conduct reveals one's family, speech reveals one's country, attentiveness reveals affection, and the body reveals one's food.

वृथा वृष्टिः समुद्रस्य वृथा तृप्तस्य भोजनम् । वृथा दानं समृद्धस्य नीचस्य सुकृतं वथा ॥ १,११५.

Rain over the ocean is in vain, food for one who is already satisfied is in vain, giving to one who is already wealthy is in vain, and good deeds for a base person are also in vain.

दूरस्थोऽपि समीपस्थो यो यस्य हृदये स्थितः । हृदयादपि निष्क्रान्तः समीपस्थोऽपि दूरतः ॥ १,११५.

Even if far away, one who dwells in the heart is near; but one who has departed from the heart is distant, even if physically close.

मुखभङ्गः स्वरो दीनो गात्रस्वेदो महद्भयम् । मरणे यानि चिह्नानि तानि चिह्नानि याचके ॥ १,११५.

A fallen face, a weak voice, sweating of the limbs, and great fear—these are signs of death, and also signs of a beggar.

कुब्जस्य कीटघातस्य वातान्निष्कासितस्य च । शिखरे वसतस्तस्य वरं जन्म न याचितम् ॥ १,११५.

For a hunchback, a killer of insects, one driven out by the wind, and one living on a peak, it is better to die than to beg.

जगत्पतिर्हि याचित्वा विष्णुर्वामनतां यतः । कान्योऽधिकतरस्तस्य योर्ऽथो याति न लाघवम् ॥ १,११५.

For even Vishnu, the Lord of the world, when he begged, assumed the form of Vamana; what other purpose could be greater than his, for which humility is not required?

माता शत्रुः पिता वैरी बाला येन न पाठिताः । सभामध्ये न शोभन्ते हंसमध्ये बकायथा ॥ १,११५.

A mother is an enemy, a father is a foe, for those children whom they do not educate; such children do not shine in an assembly, like a crane among swans.

विद्या नाम कुरूपरूपमधिकं विद्यातिगुप्तं धनं विद्या साधुकरी जनप्रियकरी विद्या गुरूणां गुरुः । विद्या बन्धुजनार्तिनाशनकरी विद्या परं दैवतं विद्या राजसु पूजिता हि मनुजो विद्यविहीनः पशुः ॥ १,११५.

Knowledge is called the highest form, a treasure greater than all others, a wealth that cannot be stolen; knowledge brings virtue, wins the favor of people, is the teacher of teachers, removes the suffering of relatives, is the supreme deity, is honored among kings, and a person without knowledge is like a beast.

गृहे चाभ्यन्तरे द्रव्यं लग्नं चैव तु दृश्यते । अशेषं हरणीयं च विद्या न ह्रियते परैः ॥ १,११५.

Wealth and possessions kept inside a house can be seen and taken away entirely, but knowledge cannot be stolen by others.

शौनकीयं नीतिसारं विष्णुः सर्वत्रतानि च । कथयामास वैपूर्वं तत्र शुश्राव शङ्करः । शङ्करादशृणोद्व्यासो व्यासादस्माभिरेव च ॥ १,११५.

Vishnu formerly spoke everywhere the essence of polity from the Shaunakīya tradition; there, Shankara listened, Vyasa heard from Shankara, and we have heard from Vyasa.

श्रीगरुडमहापुराणम् ११६ ब्रह्मोवाच । व्रतानि व्यास वक्ष्यामि हरिर्यैः सर्वदो भवेत् । सर्वमासर्क्षतिथिषु वारेषु हरिरर्चितः ॥ १,११६.

Brahma said: I will declare the vows, O Vyasa, by which Hari becomes the giver of all; when Hari is worshipped on every month, star, lunar day, and weekday.

एकभक्तेन नक्तेन उपवासफलादिना । ददाति धनधान्यादि पुत्रराज्यजयादिकम् ॥ १,११६.

By single-minded devotion, by fasting at night, and by the fruits of such observances, he grants wealth, grain, sons, kingdom, victory, and more.

द्वितीयायां यमो लक्ष्मीनारायण इहार्थदः । तृतीयायां त्रिदेवाश्च गौरीविघ्नेशशङ्कराः ॥ १,११६.

On the second day, Yama and Lakshmi-Narayana grant wealth here; on the third day, the three gods, Gauri, Vighnesha, and Shankara.

On the fourth day, the four manifestations are to be worshipped; on the fifth, Hari is worshipped; on the sixth, Kartikeya and the Sun; on the seventh, Bhaskara grants wealth.

On Durga's eighth and the ninth day, the Mothers and the directions grant wealth; on the tenth, Yama and the Moon; on the eleventh, one should worship the sages.

On the twelfth, Hari and Kama; on the thirteenth, Maheshvara; on the fourteenth and fifteenth, Brahma and the ancestors grant wealth.

अमावास्यां पूजनीया वारा वै भास्करादयः । नक्षत्राणि च योगाश्च पूजिताः सर्वदायकाः ॥ १,११६.

On the new moon, the days of the week, beginning with the Sun, are to be worshipped; the stars and yogas, when worshipped, grant all desires.

श्रीगरुडमहापुराणम् ११७ ब्रह्मोवाच । मार्गशीर्षे सिते पक्षे व्यासांनङ्गत्रयोदशी । मल्लिकाजं दन्तकाष्ठं धुतूरैः पूजयेच्छिवम् ॥ १,११७.
