With the help of the injunctions of the Shrutis and of continued efforts calculated to bring success, Knowledge is sure to originate. One who is desirous of saying good words or observing a religion which is purged off of all impurities, should speak only truth which is not fraught with any malice or censure. One who has got a sound heart should speak words which are not fraught with dishonesty, which are not harsh, which are not cruel, which are not evil, and which are not characterised by garrulity. The universe is bound in words. If a person disposed to renunciation he should proclaim, with a humble mind and a cleansed understanding, his own evil deeds. He who performs action, urged there to by propensities pervaded by the quality of Darkness, suffers much misery in this world and at last sinks into hell. One should, therefore, practise selfcontrol in body, words and mind.
विवक्षता च सद्वाक्यं धर्मं सूक्ष्ममवेक्षता। सत्यां वाचमहिंस्रां च वदेदनपवादिनीम्॥ कल्कापेतामपरुषामनृशंसामपैशुनाम्। ईदृगल्पं च वक्तव्यमविक्षिप्तेन चेतसा॥ वाक्प्रबद्धो हि संसारो विरागाद् व्याहरेद् यदि। बुद्ध्याप्यनुगृहीतेन मनसा कर्म तामसम्॥ रजोभूतैर्हि करणैः कर्मणि प्रतिपद्यते। स दुःखं प्राप्य लोकेऽस्मिन् नरकायोपपद्यते। तस्मान्मनोवाक्शरीरै राचरेद् धैर्यमात्मनः॥
