Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 137
तथा चोक्तम् --
स स्निग्धोऽकुशलान्निवारयति यस्तत्कर्म यन्निर्मलं
सा स्त्री यातुविधायिनी स मतिमान्यः सद्भिरभ्यर्च्यते ।
सा श्रीर्या न मदं करोति स सुखी यस्तृष्णया मुच्यते
तन्मित्रं यदकृत्रिमं स पुरुषो यः खिद्यते नेन्द्रियैः ॥
It is said in connexion with this - He has affection (for us) who dissuades (us) from evil; that is an act which is pure; she is a wife, who is obedient; he is talented who is esteemed by the good; that is wealth which begets no vanity; he is happy who is free from desire; he is a friend who is sincere (lit. artless); and he is a man who is not troubled by the senses (i.e., has his senses under control).
