Gifted with a forgiving nature and selfcontrol, and with anger under complete subjection, one should transform himself into an embodiment of Virtue and become freed from malice. Such a man, who becomes devoted, besides, to the discharge of all the duties of religion, becomes indued with the merit of virtue.
क्षान्तो दान्तो जितक्रोधो धर्मभूतो विहिंसकः। धर्मे रतमना नित्यं नरो धर्मेण युज्यते॥
