Sanskrit Text

सद्भ्य आगतविज्ञानः शिष्टः शास्त्रविचक्षणः स्वधर्मेण क्रिया लोके कुर्वाणः सत्यसंगरः

English Translation

Having derived knowledge from the good and wise, he should govern his passions and desires. Well-versed in the scriptures, he should follow those duties which have been laid down for him, and do all works in this world guided by the qualities of goodness. Living even like a house-holder, the Brahmana should perform the six acts already spoken of.
