उदेति सविता ताम्रस्ताम्र एवास्तमेति च ।
संपत्तौ च विपत्तौ च महतामेकरूपता ॥

"Sun is copper-red when it rises and the same when it sets. Great people always behave in the same way both during prosperity and calamity.”

वज्रादपि कठोराणि मृदूनि कुसुमादपि ।
लोकोत्तराणां चेतांसि को हि विज्ञातुमर्हति ॥

"Who can understand the minds of the great people: for, their minds are stronger than diamonds and more tender than flowers?”
