तेजः क्षमा धृतिः शौचमद्रोहो नातिमानिता । भवन्ति सम्पदं दैवीमभिजातस्य भारत ॥
Translation
Vigor, forgiveness, fortitude, purity, freedom from hatred, and freedom from excessive pride — these belong to one born with a divine nature.
Explanation
'Freedom from excessive pride' sitting right alongside vigor and fortitude is a useful pairing — the list values strength and forgiveness equally, rather than treating gentleness as weakness or strength as inherently aggressive. Both are named as part of the same good character.
Reflect
Have you been holding vigor and gentleness together today, or leaning too far toward one at the expense of the other?
