उच्छृङ्खलाप्यकृतिका स्थितिर्धीरस्य राजते, न तु संस्पृहचित्तस्य शान्तिर्मूढस्य कृत्रिमा। ॥50॥
ucchṛṅkhalāpyakṛtikā sthitirdhīrasya rājate, na tu saṁspṛha-cittasya śāntir-mūḍhasya kṛtrimā. (50)
The actions of a wise person are natural and sincere, shining brightly without any hidden motives. In contrast, the calmness of a foolish person is forced and tied to their desires.
