11. The utmost limit of a cool disposition, and the entire want of all anxious cares, are the two antidotes that set at naught the fervour and vapours of sorrow from the human mind. 12. It is very rare to meet a person, amidst the spheres of all these worlds; who is fraught with the ambrosia of cool insouciance, who is friendly to his enemies and whose enemies are his friends, and who looks on all alike as he does to himself. 13. The mind of the enlightened man, shines as brightly as the luminous moon; and dazzles with drops of ambrosial dews; the sages all lived to drink the cooling draught of immortality, as you learn from the lives of the royal sage Janaka and others of immortal fame. 14. The man practising his demureness, has his faults described as his qualities, his sorrows seem as his pleasure (_i.e._ he rejoices in his misery); and his death is eternal life unto him. 15. Sámyam or stoicism is ever accompanied, with a good grace, good lot and placidness; all of which are constant attendants on the stoic sage, as faithful wives fondly cling to the sides of their beloved husbands. 16. Equanimity is the perpetual prosperity of the soul, and not the transitory hilarity of the mind; therefore there is no treasure (_i.e._ spiritual bliss) whatsoever, which is a stranger to the meekness of spirit. 17. He that is honest in all his dealings, and steady in his own professions; and liberal in his minds (_i.e._ taking no heed of the faults of others); are men as valuable as richest gems, and are deemed and desired by all as gods upon earth. (Because men with godly virtues, are deemed and deified as gods). 18. The even minded man, that is righteous and upright in all his doings and dealings, who is magnanimous in his soul and benevolent in his mind; such a man is neither burnt by fire, nor ever soiled or sullied by water (_i.e._ nothing can alter the even tenor of his mind and the smoothness of his conduct). 19. Who can foil that man that does what is right, and observes things in their true light; who is not susceptible of joy or grief (but goes on in the even course of his life). 20. The righteous and unflinching man, is relied upon and esteemed by all his friends and enemies also; he is honoured by his king and master, and loved by all wisemen with whom he has any dealing. 21. The wise and even sighted men are of indifferent minds, and do not try to flee from evil, nor rejoice to receive any good; they are content with whatever comes to pass upon them, as aught of good or bad, they care for naught. 22. These meek minded men are unmindful of any good or desirable thing, which they may happen either to lose or leave from them; because they have to resort to the happy state of their equanimity (Samatá or stoic sameness); of which no calamity or chance can deprive them.
