सुरभयति मुखं कुठारस्य





सुजनो न याति वैरं परहितनिरतो विनाशकालेऽपि।
छेदेपि चन्दनतरुः सुरभयति मुखं कुठारस्य॥
रविगुप्त

sujano na yāti vairaṁ parahitanirato vināśakāle'pi|
chedepi candanataruḥ surabhayati mukhaṁ kuṭhārasya||
ravigupta

Noble people, ever helpful for others, never entertain hatred or enmity even if they are severely attacked and hurt. Even when the trunk of a sandalwood tree is chopped, the pieces adds only fragrance to the edge of the axe.
