f6.16

kāke śaucaṃ dyūtakāre ca satyam,
klībe dhairyaṃ madyape tattvacintā,
sarpe kṣāntiḥ strīṣu kāmopaśāntī,
rājñāṃ mitraṃ kena dṛṣṭaṃ śrutaṃ vā? || 16 ||

Purity in a crow, truthfulness in a gambler, / courage in a eunuch, contemplation of truth in a drunkard, / forbearance in a snake, quenching of desire in women, / or a friend among kings—by whom has this been seen or heard? || 16
