स्वभावेनैव यः शान्तः समतां न जहाति वै ।
शुभाशुभं ह्याचरन्यो महाकर्ता स उच्यते ॥ १९ ॥

svabhāvenaiva yaḥ śāntaḥ samatāṃ na jahāti vai |
śubhāśubhaṃ hyācaranyo mahākartā sa ucyate || 19 ||

He is reckoned as the best actor, who is naturally quiet in his disposition and never loses the evenness of his temper;who does good to his friends and evil to his enemies;without taking them to his heart.
