Hallmarks of a great man (mahatma)

विपदि धैर्यमथाभ्युदये क्षमा
सदसि वाक्पटुता युधि विक्रमः ।
यशसि चाभिरुचिर्व्यसनं श्रुतौ
प्रकृतिसिद्धमिदं हि महात्मनाम् ।।

Per Hitopadesh

During a time of crisis, the one who has patience
During the time of growth, the one who has forgiveness
In a gathering of wise men, the one who has great communication skills
In a war the one who has bravery
Who is interested in glory for self
And an interest in the scriptures

Are the hallmarks of a great man (mahatma)
