1.83

aiśvaryasya vibhūṣaṇaṃ sujanatā śauryasya vāk-saṃyamo
jñānasyopaśamaḥ śrutasya vinayo vittasya pātre vyayaḥ |
akrodhas tapasaḥ kṣamā prabhavitur dharmasya nirvājatā
sarveṣām api sarva-kāraṇam idaṃ śīlaṃ paraṃ bhūṣaṇam ||

Good nature is the ornament of power, restraint of speech of valor, / tranquil calmness of knowledge, modesty of sacred learning, spending on worthy recipients of wealth, / absence of anger of ascetic austerity, patience of a ruler, sincerity of righteousness: / moral conduct is the cause of all these, and the supreme ornament of all.
