भीरुः क्षुधाआलुर्बहुभुक्च यः स्याद् ज्ञेयश्च सत्त्वेन नरस्तिरश्चाम् । एवं नराणां प्रकृतिः प्रदिष्टा यल्लक्षणज्ञाः प्रवदन्ति सत्त्वम् ॥ ६८-११४ ॥

A man of bestial nature is cowardly, ever-hungry and gluttonous. Thus has been explained the nature of men which the scholars of characteristics call Sattva, inner mettle.
