अयं साधुरहो कष्टं कष्टमस्य महाजनाः । साधोर्वदंत्येतदपि पापिनां दुर्लभं त्विदम्
ayaṃ sādhuraho kaṣṭaṃ kaṣṭamasya mahājanāḥ | sādhorvadaṃtyetadapi pāpināṃ durlabhaṃ tvidam
«¡Ay, este hombre bueno sufre—qué duro es!»—así dicen los grandes acerca del virtuoso. Pero aun esto (la fama de bondad) es en verdad raro entre los pecadores.
Nandabhadra
Scene: A compassionate assembly where elders (mahājanas) speak softly about a suffering sādhu; the sādhu remains composed, radiating inner steadiness despite outer hardship.
Even when the virtuous suffer, their goodness is recognized; true virtue itself is rare and should not be abandoned for comfort.
