Whatever a great man does, others also do; whatever he establishes as the standard, the world follows.

Swami Sivananda

Whatever a superior person does, another person does the same! Whatever they uphold as authority, an ordinary person follows that.

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

Whatever a great man does, others do too. Whatever standard he sets, the world follows it.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

Whatever a great man does, others of lesser stature follow suit; whatever standard he sets, the world follows it.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

For whatever a great man does, others imitate; people conform to the standard he has set.

Shri Purohit Swami

श्रेष्ठ मनुष्य जो-जो आचरण करता है, दूसरे मनुष्य वैसा-वैसा ही आचरण करते हैं। वह जो कुछ प्रमाण  देता है,  दूसरे मनुष्य उसीके अनुसार आचरण करते हैं।

Swami Ramsukhdas

श्रेष्ठ पुरुष जैसा आचरण करता है, अन्य लोग भी वैसा ही अनुकरण करते हैं; वह पुरुष जो कुछ प्रमाण कर देता है, लोग भी उसका अनुसरण करते हैं।

Swami Tejomayananda
