Translation

(THE AMAZING CHARACTERS OF THE NOBLE MEN)

By bending down, they stand up! By praising the qualities of others, they exhibit their own qualities! By making effort in every possible way to fulfill the ambitions of others, they fulfill their own! By maintaining forbearance against the censuring rude loudly spoken words, they hurt the wicked! Who will not adore these noble men with such amazing characters, revered by all in the world! ॥ 60 ॥
