स्त्रियं वा ब्राह्मणं वापि तस्मान्नैव प्रकोपयेत् । निघ्नंतं वा शपंतं वा यदीच्छेच्छुभमात्मनः
striyaṃ vā brāhmaṇaṃ vāpi tasmānnaiva prakopayet | nighnaṃtaṃ vā śapaṃtaṃ vā yadīcchecchubhamātmanaḥ

Mārkaṇḍeya
Listener: Bhīṣma
Scene: A pilgrim restrains himself while a woman or brāhmaṇa, angered, raises a hand or utters a curse; the central message is self-control and stepping back from escalation.
