O descendant of Kuru, he who is cruel behaves cruelly towards even those who are humble and he who is humble behaves humbly and honestly towards even those are wicked. He who is honest behaves honestly towards even those who are dishonest, why then should not he behave honestly with one who is honest.
क्रूरः कौरव्य मृदवे मृदुः क्रूरे च कौरव। साधुश्चासाधवे साधुः साधवे नाप्नुयात् कथम्॥
