Shukra said: "O Devayani, know this: the man who constantly endures others' insults — by that, all this [the world] is conquered. He who curbs rising anger as [a charioteer curbs] a horse is called by the virtuous a true charioteer, not one who merely dangles on the reins. O Devayani, know this: he who dispels rising anger with freedom from anger — by that, all this is conquered. He who dispels rising anger here with forbearance, as a serpent sheds its worn-out skin, he indeed is called a true man. He who restrains wrath, who endures insults, and who, though tormented himself, does not torment in return — he is a sure vessel of every good. Of two — he who, untiring, performs sacrifices month after month for a hundred years, and he who grows angry at no one — of these two, the one free from anger is greater. The enmity that thoughtless boys and girls create, the wise man should not imitate; they do not know what strength and weakness are."
