A twice-born ascetic named Durvasas, who is full of anger, came to my father's house for begging alms. I succeeded in pleasing him by the purity of my conduct and of my minds as also by refusing to notice the many wrongs he did. I did not yield to anger although there was much in his conduct quite capable of exciting that passion.
तपस्वी कोपनो विप्रो दुर्वासा नाम मे पितुः। भिक्षामुपातो भोक्तुं तमहं पर्यतोषयम्॥ शौचेन त्वागसस्त्यागैः शुद्धेन मनसा तथा। कोपस्थानेष्वपि महत्स्वकुष्यन्न कदाचन।॥
