वात्ययेव हिमं यावच्छ्रिया न परुषीकृताः ॥ ८ ॥

tāvacchītamṛdusparśāḥ pare sve ca jane janāḥ |
vātyayeva himaṃ yāvacchriyā na paruṣīkṛtāḥ || 8 ||

Men (by nature) are gentle and kind hearted to friends and strangers, until they are hardheartened by their riches, which like blasts of wind, serve to stiffen (the liquid) frost.
