समौ मानापमानौ च चित्तज्ञः कालवित्तथा । सर्वंसहः क्षमी विज्ञः स भवेद्राजवल्लभः
samau mānāpamānau ca cittajñaḥ kālavittathā | sarvaṃsahaḥ kṣamī vijñaḥ sa bhavedrājavallabhaḥ
«Aquel para quien son iguales el honor y el ultraje; que conoce los corazones y sabe el tiempo oportuno; que todo lo soporta, es paciente, indulgente y sagaz—ese llega a ser amado por el rey.»
Śākalya (continuing counsel)
Scene: A serene minister stands unshaken amid courtiers’ praise and blame; the king’s face softens, recognizing steadiness and forgiveness.
Equanimity, forgiveness, and discernment are dharmic virtues that create trust and harmony in society.
No specific tīrtha is mentioned in this verse.
None; it teaches inner discipline (samatā, kṣamā) as practical dharma.
