One should disregard disgraceful speeches, and never in pride consider himself as superior to another. When sought to be angered by another, one should still give vent to agreeable speeches. Even when spoken ill of one should not calumniate in return.
अतिवादांस्तितिक्षेत नाभिमन्येत कंचन। क्रोध्यमानः प्रियं ब्रूयादाक्रुष्टः कुशलं वदेत्॥
