He who abstains from every kind of flesh, who is possessed of a pure heart, who is gifted with righteousness, who worships his parents with respect, who is endued with truthfulness of speech and conduct, who attends with obedience upon the Brahmanas, who is faultless in conduct, who never behaves with anger towards kine and towards the Brahmanas, who performs every duty, who serves his preceptors with reverence, who is devoted for his whole life to truth and to gifts, and who is always forgiving towards all transgressions against himself, who is mild and selfcontrolled, who is full of respect for the celestials, who is hospitable to all guests, who is gifted with mercy, indeed, he who is adorned with these attributes, succeeds in attaining to the eternal region of kine.
यः सर्वमांसानि न भक्षयीत पुमान् सदा भावितो धर्मयुक्तः। मातापित्रोरर्चिता सत्ययुक्तः शुश्रूषिता ब्राह्मणानामनिन्द्यः।॥ अक्रोधनो गोषु तथा द्विजेषु धर्मे रतो गुरुशुश्रूषकश्चा यावज्जीवं सत्यवृत्ते रतश्च दाने रतो यः क्षमी चापराधे॥ मृदुर्दान्तो देवपरायणश्च सर्वातिथिश्चापि तथा दयावान्। ईदृग्गुणो मानवस्तं प्रयाति लोकं गवां शाश्वतं चाव्ययं च॥
