शान्ता महान्तो निवसन्ति सन्तोवसन्तवल्लोकहितं चरन्तः ।तीर्णाः स्वयं भीमभवार्णवं जना -नहेतुनान्यानपि तारयन्तः ॥ ३९ ॥
In plain words
Peaceful, great-hearted people live among us like spring itself, quietly working for the good of the world. They have already crossed this fearsome ocean of existence themselves, and — for no reason but their own overflowing kindness — they carry others across it too.
Close to the Sanskrit
Peaceful, great souls, the good, dwell [in the world], doing good to it like spring, having themselves crossed the terrible ocean of worldly existence, and, without any personal motive, ferrying other people across it too.
