He, who is honoured (by the gods) without any action, is honoured (like one knowing the true nature of the inner self). If honoured (by others than gods) a man should not think himself really honoured; and he should not be sorry at others not honouring him.
यमप्रयतमानं तु मानयन्ति स मानितः। न मान्यमानो मन्येत न मान्यमभिसंज्वरेत्॥
