Shatakatraya 1.64

1.64

pradānaṃ pracchannaṃ gṛham upagate sambhrama-vidhiḥ
priyaṃ kṛtvā maunaṃ sadasi kathanaṃ cāpy upakṛteḥ |
anutseko lakṣmyām anabhibhava-gandhāḥ para-kathāḥ
satāṃ kenoddiṣṭaṃ viṣamam asidhārā-vratam idam ||

Giving in secret, offering hospitable honor to an arrived guest, / keeping silence after doing a kindness, proclaiming another's favor in an assembly, / absence of arrogance in fortune, speech about others free from the scent of disparagement: / by whom has this difficult vow, sharp as a sword-edge, been prescribed for the virtuous?
