For a Brahmana there can be no wealth like living in solitude, an impartial eye for all creatures, truthfulness of speech, steady observance of good conduct, the total abandonment of the rod (of chastisement), simplicity, and the gradual abstention from all acts.
नैतादृशं ब्राह्मणस्यास्ति वित्तं यथैकता समता सत्यता च। शीले स्थितिर्दण्डनिधानमार्जवं ततस्ततश्चोपरमः क्रियाभ्यः॥
