Formerly the Danavas used to keep their houses clean, to keep their women in control, to pour libations on the sacrificial fire, to wait dutifully on their preceptors, to control their passions, to be obedient to the Brahmanas, and to be truthful in speech.
सुसम्मृष्टगुहाश्चासन् जितस्त्रीका हुताग्नयः। गुरुशुश्रूषका दान्ता ब्रह्मण्याः सत्यवादिनः॥
