अजातस्य सतो बन्धोर्बन्धुदुःखसुखभ्रमैः ।
कस्ते राघव संबन्धो यदेताननुशोचसि ॥ ३६ ॥

ajātasya sato bandhorbandhuduḥkhasukhabhramaiḥ |
kaste rāghava saṃbandho yadetānanuśocasi || 36 ||

You can have no concern, with the weal or woe of a friend or foe, who is not born so to you; for every one being born for himself, you have no cause of joy or grief for any body.
