Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 16, Verse 3

Daivasura Sampad Vibhaga Yoga

तेजः क्षमा धृतिः शौचमद्रोहो नातिमानिता । भवन्ति सम्पदं दैवीमभिजातस्य भारत ॥ ३ ॥

tejaḥ kṣhamā dhṛitiḥ śhaucham adroho nāti-mānitā bhavanti sampadaṁ daivīm abhijātasya bhārata

Translation

vigour, forgiveness, fortitude, purity, freedom from malice and from excessive pride: these belong to one born with the divine nature, O Bharat.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

तेज, क्षमा, धैर्य, शुद्धि, किसी से द्रोह न करना और अत्यधिक अभिमान का न होना, हे भारत! ये दैवी सम्पदा लेकर जन्मे हुए पुरुष के लक्षण हैं।

Commentary

The list ends with tejas, vigour or radiance, placed right beside kshama, forgiveness. Divine character is not weak or passive; it combines strength with gentleness. Abhijatasya means "of one born towards" these qualities: the tendencies we are born with, which can still be strengthened or weakened by how we live.
