Bhartrihari. The Century of Life
On Virtue
Eloquence in the assembly; in the field
The puissant act, the lion’s heart; proud looks
Unshaken in defeat, but modest-kind
Mercy when victory comes; passionate for books
High love of learning; thoughts to fame inclined; –
These things are natural to the noble mind.
