अद्रोहो नाभिमानश्र ह्वीस्तितिक्षा दम: शम: । धीमन्तो धृतिमन्तश्न॒ भूतानामनुकम्पका:
adroho nābhimānaś ca hrīs titikṣā damaḥ śamaḥ | dhīmanto dhṛtimantaś ca bhūtānām anukampakāḥ ||
अद्रोह, अभिमानाचा त्याग, लज्जा, तितिक्षा, दम आणि शम—जे बुद्धिमान व धैर्यवान असतात, ते सर्व प्राण्यांवर करुणा करतात।
व्याध उवाच
True wisdom expresses itself through virtues—non-hostility, humility, modesty, patience, self-restraint, and inner calm—and culminates in compassion toward all beings.
The hunter (Vyādha) is instructing his listener on the marks of a genuinely wise and steadfast person, emphasizing ethical conduct and universal compassion as central to dharma.
