Sanskrit Original
बिषय अलंपट सील गुनाकर। पर दुख दुख सुख सुख देखे पर।। सम अभूतरिपु बिमद बिरागी। लोभामरष हरष भय त्यागी।। कोमलचित दीनन्ह पर दाया। मन बच क्रम मम भगति अमाया।। सबहि मानप्रद आपु अमानी। भरत प्रान सम मम ते प्रानी।। बिगत काम मम नाम परायन। सांति बिरति बिनती मुदितायन।। सीतलता सरलता मयत्री। द्विज पद प्रीति धर्म जनयत्री।। ए सब लच्छन बसहिं जासु उर। जानेहु तात संत संतत फुर।। सम दम नियम नीति नहिं डोलहिं। परुष बचन कबहूँ नहिं बोलहिं।।

"Saints as a rule have no hankering for the pleasures of sense and are the very mines of amiability and other virtues. They grieve to see others in distress and rejoice at the sight of others' joy. They are even-minded and look upon none as their enemy. Free from vanity and passion, they are conquerers of greed, anger, joy and fear. Tender of heart and compassionate to the distressed, they cherish guileless devotion to Me in thought, word and deed; and giving honour to all, they are modest themselves. Such souls, Bharata, are dear to Me as life. Having no interested motive of their own they are devoted to My Name and are abodes of tranquillity, dispassion, humility and good humour. Again, know him for all time, dear brother, a genuine saint, whose heart is a home of all such noble qualities as placidity, guilelessness, friendliness and devotion to the feet of the Brahmanas, which is the fountain of all virtues. They never swerve from the control of their mind and senses, religious observances and correct behaviour and never utter a harsh word."
