1.21.13

etenāṅgata eva kintu guṇato' py addhā mahānto matā
yat tāpādi-nivāraṇaiḥ sva-vapuṣo jīvānavantaḥ sthitāḥ |
eṣām eva ca janma yat tu phalavad dṛśyeta tac cettham apy
ūhadhvaṃ yad aśeṣa-jīvanatayā rājanty amī sarvataḥ ||

"These are considered truly great not merely in body, but in virtues as well, / since by dispelling heat and other afflictions through their own bodies, they sustain living beings. / And that their birth alone is seen to be fruitful—ponder it also thus: / they shine on every side as the means of life for all."
