न चित्तशूलं जनयति सो पुरेषु प्रसन्नचित्तो सदा अप्रमत्तो ।
न तस्य अग्नि क्रमते न शस्त्रं उल्लोकनीयो सद पुण्यवन्तो ॥ ५२४ ॥
na cittaśūlaṃ janayati so pureṣu prasannacitto sadā apramatto |
na tasya agni kramate na śastraṃ ullokanīyo sada puṇyavanto || 524 ||
He does not occasion a sting of grief in the hearts of others, but is always serene and alert. Neither fire nor weapon has any effect on him. He is always looked up to, and virtuous. (524)
