Sanskrit Text

उक्ताश्च विवक्षन्ति वक्तारमहिते रतम् प्रतिहन्तुं चेच्छन्ति हन्तारं वै मनीषिणः

English Translation

They, O Devala, who treat equally those who praise them and those who blame them, they who conceal their own vows and good acts, they who never indulge in vilifications, they who never say even what is good when it is calculated to injure (instead of producing any benefit), they who do not desire to retaliate injury are said to be wise men.
