सुविज्ञेयः पुरुषॊ ऽनयत्र कामॊ; निन्दा परशंसे हि तथा युनक्ति जिह्वा मनस ते हृदयं निर्व्यनक्ति; जयायॊ निराह मनसः परातिकूल्यम ।। २-५७-२ ।।

sanskrit

'The true nature of a man is revealed when he wishes success for those he favors and defeat for those he does not. His praise and blame are then aligned with these preferences. Thy tongue and mind reveal what is in thy heart, yet the hostility expressed in thy words exceeds even the enmity in thy heart. For one who is adverse to victory, all actions are against him.' ।। 2-57-2 ।।
