सहनं सर्वदुःखानामप्रतीकारपूर्वकम् ।
चिन्ताविलापरहितं सा तितिक्षा निगद्यते ॥
sahanaṁ sarva-duḥkhānām apratīkāra-pūrvakam |
cintā-vilāpa-rahitaṁ sā titikṣā nigadyate ||
(Viveka-cūḍāmaṇi: 24)
“Endurance of all hardships
Preceded by non-counteraction
[i.e., non-resistance, non-remediation, or non-retaliation to such hardships]
And free from anxiety and lamentation
Is called forbearance (titikṣā).”
