स भारः सौम्य भर्तव्यो यो नरं नावसादयेत् ।
तदन्नमपि भोक्तव्यं जीर्यते यदनामयम् ॥
Sa bhaarah saumya bhartavyo yo naram naavasaadayet
Tadannamapi bhoktavyam jeeryate yadanaamayam
3.50.18
यत्कृत्वा न भवेत् धर्मो न कीर्तिर्न यशो ध्रुवं।
शरीरस्य भवेत् खेदः कस्तत्कर्म समाचरेत् ॥
Yatkrutwaa na bhaveddharmo na keertirna yasho dhruvam
Shareerasya bhavet khedah kastatkarma samaacharet
3.50.19
One should lift only such weight as will not exhaust one beyond a limit. One should eat only such food as will easily digest.
Who will engage himself in such action as will get him neither dharma nor reputation nor lasting fame and which will only result in physical exhaustion?
[Context: Jatayu's advice to Ravana to refrain from abducting Sita. This is going to cost him dearly, something which he will not be able to bear.]
