TEXT

न वयं मन्यमानानाम् आत्मानं तत्र साधनम् ।
गिरो वः साधुशोच्यानां गृह्णीमो मर्मताडनाः ॥ ९ ॥

na vayam manyamananam

atmanam tatra sadhanam

giro vaḥ sadhu-socyanam

grhnimo marma-taḍanaḥ

na-not; vayam-we; manyamananam-who are considering; atmanam-the self; tatra-in victory or defeat; sadhanam-the cause; giraḥ-the words; vaḥ-of you; sadhu-socyanam-who are to be pitied by the saintly persons; grhnimaḥ-accept; marma-taḍanaḥ-which afflict the heart.

TRANSLATION

You demigods think that your own selves are the cause of your attaining fame and victory. Because of your ignorance, saintly persons feel sorry for you. Therefore, although your words afflict the heart, we do not accept them.
