prāṇāghātān nivṛttiḥ para-dhana-haraṇe saṃyamaḥ satya-vākyaṃ
kāle śaktyā pradānaṃ yuvati-jana-kathā-mūka-bhāvaḥ pareṣām |
tṛṣṇā-sroto vibhaṅgo guruṣu ca vinayaḥ sarva-bhūtānukampā
sāmānyaḥ sarva-śāstreṣv anupahata-vidhiḥ śreyasām eṣa panthāḥ ||

Refraining from taking life, restraint in seizing another's wealth, truthful speech, / giving in due season according to one's capacity, silence regarding other men's young wives, / breaking the current of craving, humility toward elders, compassion for all beings: / this is the universal, unimpeded path to the highest good taught in all authoritative treatises.
