Verse 52·VR 4.33.52

कोपम् कथम् नाम गुण प्रकृष्टः कुमार कुर्यात् अपकृष्ट सत्त्वे | कः त्वत् विधः कोप वशम् हि गच्छे सत्त्व अवरुद्धः तपसः प्रसूतिः || ४-३३-५२

Translation

How in name can a meritoriously high-minded being will show his anger on a relatively mightless inferior being, say Sugreeva, whose mightiest brother's mightiness and essence, say that of Vali, are deducted by none other but by your brother associated with you, and oh, lad, who goes into the control of fury, say of your kind, while he is restrained by his perfection, and a source of abstemiousness.
