If you are angry, show yourself as if you are not so, speaking then with even smiles. O descendant of Bharatas, never reprove any one with indications of anger. Speak soft words before you hit (your enemy), (speak soft words) even when you are hitting (your enemy). After hitting (your enemy), pity the victim and grieve for him and even shed tears.
क्रुद्धोऽप्यक्रुद्धरूपः स्यात् स्मितपूर्वाभिभाषिता। न चाप्यन्यमपध्वंसेत् कदाचित् कोपसंयुतः॥ प्रहरिष्यन् प्रियं ब्रूयात् प्रहरन्नपि भारत। प्रहत्य च कृपायीत शोचेत च रुदेत च॥
