Yoga Sutra III - 24 - MAITRYADISU BALANI - By samyama on friendliness and other such qualities, the power to transmit them is obtained.Swami Satchidananda translated the above sutra without commentary.
From "How to Know God - The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali" translated and commented on by Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood:
"The reference here is to aphorism 33 of chapter 1: 'friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous.' The yogi who masters this samyama has the power of giving joy to everyone he meets, and relieving from pain and care."
