O Brahmana, man must follow the standard of virtue of the good; and in his acts he must imitate the example of the virtuous. There are virtuous men learned in the holy Shastras and conversant in all moralities. Man's proper duty consists in his following his own proper avocations such being the case, these avocations never become confused and mixed up.
सतां धर्मेण वर्तेत क्रियां शिष्टवदाचरेत्। असंक्लेशेन लोकस्य वृत्तिं लिप्सेत वै द्विज॥ सन्ति ह्यागमविज्ञानाः शिष्टाः शास्त्रे विचक्षणाः। स्वधर्मेण क्रिया लोके कर्मणः सोऽप्यसंकरः॥
