English Translation
मृतः the dead, यथा as, जीवन् while living, तथा in the same way, असति about evil man, यथा same way सति about virtuous man, तथा like that, यस्य to whom, एषः this, बुद्धिलाभः gains of intellect, स्यात् becomes, सः he, केन by what, परितप्येत is distressed.
English Commentary
One should accept life and death, vice and virtue equally. How can one be afflicted when he has gained such an intellect?
