Verse 1959

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation by Ganganath Jha:

संसारानुचिता धर्माः प्रज्ञाशीलकृपादयः ।
स्वरसेनैव वर्त्तन्ते तथैव न मदादिवत् ॥ १९५९ ॥

saṃsārānucitā dharmāḥ prajñāśīlakṛpādayaḥ |
svarasenaiva varttante tathaiva na madādivat || 1959 ||

Such, qualities as wisdom, gentleness, compassion and the like,—which are not habitually practised in the world,—do not proceed by themselves, like pride, etc.—(1959)

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

It must be admitted that the feelings of Love, etc. appear by themselves, as the effect of habitual experience in the past;—because such qualities as wisdom, gentleness and the rest,—which are not habitually practised in the world,—are not found to appear by themselves like Pride, etc.;—this is an instance of dissimilarity. ‘Pride’ is haughtiness.—Otherwise, like Pride, etc., Wisdom and the rest also would appear by themselves.—(1959)
