*प्रदानं प्रच्छन्नं गृहमुपगते संभ्रमविधिः*
*प्रियं कृत्वा मौनं सदसि कथनं चाप्युपकृतेः।*
*अनुत्सेको लक्ष्म्याम् निरभिभवसाराः परकथाः*
*सतां केनोद्दिष्टं विषममसिधाराव्रतमिदं॥*
*भर्तृहरेः नीतिशतकात्*
*pradānaṁ pracchannaṁ gṛhamupagate saṁbhramavidhiḥ*
*priyaṁ kṛtvā maunaṁ sadasi kathanaṁ cāpyupakṛteḥ|*
*anutseko lakṣmyām nirabhibhavasārāḥ parakathāḥ*
*satāṁ kenoddiṣṭaṁ viṣamamasidhārāvratamidaṁ||*
*bhartṛhareḥ nītiśatakāt*

*The life of noble men is a self taught penance sitting on the edge of a
sword (asidhaaraavratam). They give help to others in secret. They are
very fussy and careful while giving respect to guest who have come to their
house. They will keep absolute silence about some nice things they have
done for others. But they will be very lavish in praising in public the
good deeds of others. They are indifferent to wealth. And they present even
the criticism of the deeds of others in a manner that would cause no hurt.
The poet wonders who taught these people such a strict code of conduct.*
