Bhishma said If the Ritvij, the Purohita, the preceptor, the Acharya, the disciple, the relative (by marriage), and kinsmen, happen to be endued with learning and free from malice, then should they be considered worthy of respect and adoration.
भीष्म उवाच ऋत्विक् पुरोहिताचार्याः शिष्यसम्बन्धिबान्धवाः। सर्वे पूज्याश्च मान्याश्च श्रुतवन्तोऽनसूयकाः॥
