DasLakshan Parv day 2 Uttam Mardava Dharma -- उत्तम मार्दव धर्म (Tenderness or Humility) - To observe the virtue of humility subduing vanity and passions.

Mardava: This refers to the complete absence of self-conceit. Such self-conceit or pride may be due to one’s own superior caste, one’s family prestige, one’s own bodily beauty, learining, wealth, courage and bodily strength. Due to these various reasons, a person may entertain the feeling of self-importance and pride. Whenever a man with such pride is insulted by other persons, he may lose his temper and start abusing with disrespectful words or conduct. Even an ascetic may get offended and lose his control of mind in such circumstances. But he will become a victim of pride and self-conceit. Complete avoidance of this feeling of pride is called Mardhavam or humility.

Happy Uttam Mardava Dharma !!
