Sanskrit Text

चातिधैर्येण चरेद्गुरुतां हि व्रजेत्तथा स्मितं तु मृदुपूर्वेण दर्शयेत प्रसादजम्

English Translation

No person should restrain himself to the reserve, for in that case he should lead him to an unnecessary gravity. But he should smile with modesty and without betraying any mistaken interest as regards real cause of the mirth. He that is always on his guard, and is neither exalted by reward nor feels wronged by disgrace, is alone worthy of residing in a royal palace.
