तृणोल्कयाज्ञायतेजातरूपं , युगेभद्रोव्यवहारेणसाधुः |
शूरोभयेष्वर्थकृच्छ्रेषुधीरः , कृच्छ्रास्वापत्सुसुहृदश्चारयश्च ||
Gold is tested by fire, one of good upbringing by his behavior, an honest person by his conduct.
A brave person is tested in times of fear a self- controlled person in times of poverty and
friends and enemies during adversity and vulnerability.
