Freed from drowsiness and procrastination, the righteous person, who follows the path of Virtue to the best of his power, and becomes possessed of pure conduct, and who is venerable in years, comes to be considered as equal to Brahma itself.
व्यपेततन्द्रिर्धर्मात्मा शक्त्या सत्पथमाश्रितः। चारित्रपरमो बुद्धो ब्रह्मभूयाय कल्पते।॥
