उपकारोऽपकारश्च प्रवराविति सम्मतौ।
उपकारिषु सर्वोऽपि करोत्युपकृतिं पुनः॥८०-५४॥
अपकारिषु यः साधुः पुण्यभाक्ष उदाहृतः॥८०-५५॥
—श्रीमद्ब्रह्मपुराणम्
An act of favour and an unfavourable act — these are to be considered alike.
On doing a favour, everyone will [be ready to] return the favour/help.
One who remains good, even on being wronged, he indeed is a noble soul.
