मानुषं केवलं विप्रं देवं वाऽथ शुचिस्मिते ॥ १२.३७०.१ ॥
Then, in the form of a brahmin, whom do you see? Is he merely a human brahmin, or a god, O pure-smiling one?

को हि मां मानुषः शक्तो द्रष्टुकामो यशस्विनि ।
संदर्शनरुचिर्वाक्यमाज्ञापूर्वं वदिष्यति ॥ १२.३७०.२ ॥

एकं तस्मिन्विजानामि भक्तिमानतिरोपण ॥ १२.३७०.५ ॥
By straightforwardness I know that he is not a god, O eater of wind. One thing I know in him: he is devoted, O one free from anger.

वर्षं वर्षप्रियः पक्षी दर्शनं तव काङ्क्षते ॥ १२.३७०.६ ॥

हित्वा त्वद्दर्शनं किंचिद्विघ्नं न प्रतिपालयेत् ।
तुल्योप्यभिजने जातो न कश्चित्पर्युपासते ॥ १२.३७०.७ ॥
Having abandoned the sight of you, one should not wait for any obstacle; even one born of an equal lineage does not serve.
12.370.8
तद्रोषं सहजं त्यक्त्वा त्वमेनं द्रष्टुमर्हसि ।
आशाच्छेदेन तस्याद्य नात्मानं दरधुमर्हसि ॥ १२.३७०.८ ॥

12.370.9
आशया ह्यभिपन्नानामकृत्वाऽश्रुप्रमार्जनम् ।
राजा वा राजपुत्रो वा भ्रूणहत्यैव युज्यते ॥ १२.३७०.९ ॥

भूप्रदानेन च गतिं लभत्याश्रमसंमिताम् ।
न्याय्यस्यार्धस्य संप्राप्तिं कृत्वा फलमुपाश्रुते ॥ १२.३७०.११ ॥
By giving land one obtains a state suited to the hermitage; having attained the rightful half, one enjoys the fruit.

अभिमानैर्न मानो मे जातिदोषेण वै महान् ।
रोषः संकल्पजः साध्वि दग्धो वागग्निना त्वया ॥ १२.३७०.१३ ॥
O virtuous one, my honor is not great from pride; by a fault of birth, the great anger born of intention has been burned by the fire of your words.
12.370.14
न च रोषादहं साध्वि पश्येयमधिकं तमः ।
तस्य वक्तव्यतां याति विशेषेण भुजङ्गमाः ॥ १२.३७०.१४ ॥
O virtuous one, and from anger I would not see greater darkness; O serpents, its being spoken of especially arises.
12.370.15
रोषस्य हि वशं गत्वा दशग्नीवः प्रतापवान् ।

निगृहीतो मया रोषः श्रुत्वैवं वचनं तव ॥ १२.३७०.१८ ॥
Therefore this anger is the enemy of austerities and the destroyer of good things; having heard such words from you, I have restrained that anger.
