जाड्यं ह्रीमाति गण्यते व्रतरुचौ दम्भः शुचौ कैतवं शूरे निर्घुणता मुनौ विमतिता दैन्यं प्रियालापिनि । तेजस्विन्यवलित्पता मुखरता वक्तर्यशक्तिः स्थिरे तत्को नाम गुणो भवेत्स गुणिनां यो दुर्जनैर्नाङ्कितः ॥ Translation: Dullness is attributed to a modest man; hypocrisy to one who has a liking for religious observances; roguery to one who leads a life of sanctity; cruelty to a warrior; want of discrimination to one devoted to meditation; meanness to one who speaks agreeably; arrogance to a spirited man; garrulity to an orator; and imbecility to a steady man. What virtue is there then that is not stigmatised by the wicked?
