Footnotes
It translates to: ‘He (a particular individual) is either my own (ie. friend, relative, etc.) or otherwise (निजः वा परः ). Such is the calculated understanding of those of limited and small minds (इति गणना लघुचेतसाम्). Whereas, those of expansive and generous lives (उदारचरितानां) see the whole world as their family (वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्)’.
