Devanagari script
आत्मानं च परांश्चैव त्रायते महतो भयात् | क्रुध्यन्तमप्रतिक्रुध्यन् द्वयोरेष चिकित्सक:,क्रोध करनेवाले पुरुषके प्रति जो बदलेमें क्रोध नहीं करता, वह अपनेको और दूसरोंको भी महान् भयसे बचा लेता है। वह अपने और पराये दोनोंके दोषोंको दूर करनेके लिये चिकित्सक बन जाता है
Transliteration
ātmānaṃ ca parāṃś caiva trāyate mahato bhayāt | krudhyantam apratikrudhyan dvayor eṣa cikitsakaḥ ||
Translation
Yudhiṣṭhira said: One who does not answer anger with anger—remaining unprovoked even when another is enraged—rescues both himself and others from great danger. Such a person becomes a healer, capable of remedying the faults on both sides, one’s own and another’s.
