THE MAHABHARATA
किन्नु हित्वाऽर्थवान्भवति किन्नु हित्वा सुखी भवेत् ?
66
Abandoning which, does man become
loveable ? Abandoning which, does man
not grieve? Abandoning which, does man
become rich? Abandoning which, will
man become happy ? "
'मानं हित्वा प्रियो भवति क्रोधं हित्वा न शोचति ।
कामं हित्वाऽर्थवान्भवति लोभं हित्वा सुखी भवेत् ॥'
Abandoning pride, man becomes love-
able; abandoning anger, he grieves not;
abandoning desire, he becomes rich;
abandoning avarice, he will become happy."
'तपः किं लक्षणं प्रोक्तं को दमश्च प्रकीर्तितः ?
क्षमा च का परा प्रोक्ता का च
"How is Tapas defined? What is said
to be self-control? What is said to be the
greatest forbearance? And what is the
sense of shame said to be?"
