THE STORY OF DHRUVA
 
गुणाधिकान्मुदं लिप्सेदनुक्रोशं गुणाधमात् ।

मैत्रीM समानादन्विच्छेन्न तापैरभिभूयते ॥'
 

"A man should desire to be pleased

with one who is superior to him in endow-

ments; to be sympathetic to one who is

inferior in endowments; and should seek

friendliness with one who is equal in

endowments ; (doing thus), he is not over-

come by heart-burnings."

सोऽयं शभो भगवता सुखदुःखहतात्मनाम् ।

दर्शितः कृपया पुंसां दुर्दर्शोऽस्मद्विधैस्तु यः ॥

Dhruva-

"This way of composing oneself has

been kindly shown by your blessed self
to men who are assailed with pleasure

to men who are assailed with pleasure
and pain, a path hardly perceivable by

persons like myself.
 

 
'अथापि मेऽविनीतस्य क्षात्रं घोरसुपेयुषः ।

सुरुच्या दुर्वचोबाणैर्न भिन्ने श्रूयते हृदि ॥
