The men, who thus practise virtue, obtain the greatest amount of virtue through eternal ages. Persons, who possess the attributes of truthfulness, abstention from injuring others, modestly and simplicity and who are not malicious and proud, who are mild and selfsacrificing, who have self-control and forbearance, intelligence and patience, who are kind towards all creatures and who are free from desires and malice, are said to be the witnesses of the world.
एवं सन्तो वर्तमानास्त्वेधन्ते शाश्वतीः समाः। अहिंसा सत्यवचनमानृशंस्यमथार्जवम्॥ अद्रोहो नाभिमानश्च ह्रीस्तितिक्षा दमः शमः। धीमन्तो धृतिमन्तश्च भूतानामनुकम्पकाः॥ अकामद्वेषसंयुक्तास्ते सन्तो लोकसाक्षिणः।
