Yudhishthira said: (The characteristic of) asceticism is staying in one's own religion, (that of) self-restraint is control over the mind, (that of) forgiveness is the endurance of enmity and (that of) shame is refraining from all vile acts.
युधिष्ठिर उवाच तपः स्वधर्मवर्तित्वं मनसो दमनं दमः। क्षमा द्वन्द्वसहिष्णुत्वं ह्रीरकार्यनिवर्तनम्॥
