The gods court the company of one who when reviled does not return nori induces others to return and who when struck does not strike in return or make others strike and who does not wish to injure his assailant.
अतिवादं न प्रवदेन वादयेद् योऽनाहतः प्रतिहन्यान्न घातयेत्। हन्तुं च यो नेच्छति पापकं वै तस्मै देवाः स्पृहयन्त्यागताय॥
