यो वे कृतज्ञो कृतवेदि पोसो कल्याणमित्रो दृढभक्तिरूपो ।
व्यसनस्मिं सत्कृत्य करोति कार्यं तथाविधं सत्पुरुषं वदेमि ॥ ३७ ॥
yo ve kṛtajño kṛtavedi poso kalyāṇamitro dṛḍhabhaktirūpo |
vyasanasmiṃ satkṛtya karoti kāryaṃ tathāvidhaṃ satpuruṣaṃ vademi || 37 ||
The man who is grateful, and mindful of benefits done him, who is a good friend, is steadfast in devotion, and in adversity honourably does his duty, such a man do I call a good man. (37)
