न योऽभ्यसूयत्यनुकम्पते च न दुर्बलः प्रातिभाव्यं करोति । नात्याह किंचित्क्षमते विवादं सर्वत्र तादृग्लभते प्रशंसाम्॥५-३३-९१॥
One who is not envious and is compassionate; who, though not weak, does not act from a vindictive counter-impulse; who does not speak excessively and who endures dispute—such a person wins praise everywhere.
english translation
यो नोद्धतं कुरुते जातु वेषं न पौरुषेणापि विकत्थतेऽन्यान् । न मूर्च्छितः कटुकान्याह किंचित्प्रियं सदा तं कुरुते जनोऽपि॥५-३३-९२॥
One who never assumes an arrogant bearing, who does not boast over others even by reason of his own prowess, and who—though agitated—utters no harsh words: such a person is ever held in affection even by ordinary folk.
english translation
न वैरमुद्दीपयति प्रशान्तं न दर्पमारोहति नास्तमेति । न दुर्गतोऽस्मीति करोति मन्युं तमार्यशीलं परमाहुरग्र्यम्॥५-३३-९३॥
He does not rekindle hostility once it has been calmed; he does not climb into pride, nor does he sink into dejection. He does not breed resentment merely thinking, “I am in adversity.” Such noble conduct is declared the highest.
english translation
न स्वे सुखे वै कुरुते प्रहर्षं नान्यस्य दुःखे भवति प्रतीतः । दत्त्वा न पश्चात्कुरुतेऽनुतापं न कत्थते सत्पुरुषार्यशीलः॥५-३३-९४॥
He is not elated by his own comfort, nor does he take pleasure in another’s suffering. Having given, he does not later regret it, and he does not boast. Such is the noble disposition of a good person.
english translation
देशाचारान्समयाञ्जातिधर्मान्बुभूषते यस्तु परावरज्ञः । स तत्र तत्राधिगतः सदैव महाजनस्याधिपत्यं करोति॥५-३३-९५॥
One who seeks to understand regional customs, established conventions, and the duties of each community—discerning what is higher and lower in worth—becomes capable in every setting and steadily attains authority among the people.
