Sanskrit Text

ब्राह्मण्यं बहुभिरवाप्यते तपोभि;स्तल्लब्ध्वा परिपणेन हेडितव्यम् स्वाध्याये तपसि दमे नित्ययुक्तः; क्षेमार्थी कुशलपरः सदा यतस्व

English Translation

The status of Brahmanhood is acquired by long-continued and austere penances. Having gained that status one should never waste his time in the gratification of his senses. Always engaged in penances and self-control and desirous of what is for your well being, do you live and act, devoted to peace and tranquillity.
