Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 32
विपत्काले विस्मय एव कापुरुषलक्षणम् ।
तद् अत्र धैर्यमवलम्ब्य प्रतीकारश्चिन्त्यताम् । यतः ।
विपदि धैर्यमथाभ्युदये क्षमा सदसि वाक्यपटुता युधि विक्रमः ।
यशसि चाभिरुचिर्व्यसनं श्रुतौ प्रकृतिसिद्धमिदं हि महात्मनाम् ॥
In the time of adversity, perplexity itself is the sign of a weak-minded man. Therefore, taking courage in this case, think out a remedy. For, Fortitude in adversity and again forbearance in prosperity, eloquence in an assembly and valour on the battlefield, a liking for fame (good name) and a strong attachment to study - these are the natural possessions of the magnanimous.
