तेजः क्षमा धृतिः शौचमद्रोहो नातिमानिता।
भवन्ति सम्पदं दैवीमभिजातस्य भारत।।16.3।।
16.3 Vigour, forgiveness, fortitude, purity, freedom from malice, absence of haughtiness-these, O scion of the Bharata dynasty, are (the alties) of one born destined to have the divine nature.
16.3 Grandeur is the ality by virtue of which one cannot be overpowered by the wicked. Forgiveness is freedom from the feelings of antagonism towards others even when they cause injury to oneself. Fortitude is the sense of determination to do ones own duty even under conditions of great danger. Purity is fitness of the body and the mind as prescribd in the scriptures for the performance of sacred deeds. Freedom from hatred is non-interference with others, viz., absence of interference in the actions of others according to their wish. Over-pride (Atimanita) is having unbridled self-esteem; freedom from misplaced pride is meant here. These are the virtues that are found in one who is born for the divine destiny. The destiny associated with the divinities is divine. The divinities are those who are devoted to carry out the ?ndments of the Lord. It is their destiny. It is obedience to the ?ndments of the Lord. The meaning is that these are endowments in those who are born with a tendency or disposition towards them and seek to attain their fulfilment.
