Then, in the presence of the fire, in the presence of the Brahmins, and in the presence of the physicians, he should instruct him: 'You must be a celibate student, wear a beard, speak the truth, not eat meat, consume wholesome food, be free from envy, and bear no weapons. And no improper act should be done by you on my word, except what is hated by the king, what takes life, or a matter that is exceedingly unrighteous or attended with misfortune. You must always be devoted to me, hold me foremost, be dependent on me, and pursue what is dear and beneficial to me. Serving like a son, like a servant, and like a petitioner, you should live near me. Without arrogance, attentive, with an undistracted mind, disciplined, acting after careful reflection, free from maliciousness, and permitted, you should conduct yourself. Conducting yourself whether permitted or unpermitted, you should first strive to your utmost to procure what the teacher requires. Desiring success in your work, attainment of wealth, acquisition of fame, and heaven after death, you, as a physician, should pray for the welfare of all living beings, beginning with cows and Brahmins, day by day, while rising and sitting. And you should strive with your whole soul for the recovery of the sick; and even for the sake of your life you must not harbor malice toward the sick. Even in mind you must not approach another’s wife or any of another’s property. You should have a modest dress and attire; you must not be a drunkard, not be sinful, and not have sinful companions; you must speak words that are gentle, pure, righteous, auspicious, blessed, true, beneficial, and measured; you should deliberate upon place and time, be mindful, and constantly make effort regarding the excellence of knowledge, initiative, and equipment. And you must never prescribe medicine to those who are hated by the king or hate the king, or to those who are hated by the public or hate the public; likewise, to all those of exceedingly base, corrupt, and wretched disposition, conduct, and behavior, to those who do not retaliate against reproach, and to those who are about to die; likewise also to women when their master is not present or who are without an overseer. And you must never accept any gift given by a woman without permission from her husband or overseer. And entering the home of a patient, accompanied by a known person who is permitted to enter, well-clad, with your head bowed, mindful, calm, and acting in everything with a mind that reflects carefully, you should enter properly. And having entered, your speech, mind, intellect, and senses must not be directed to anything else than the patient, the purpose of helping the patient, or other matters pertaining to the patient. And the affairs of the patient's family must not be divulged outside. And even knowing that the span of the patient’s life is diminished, you must not describe it there where, being spoken, it leads to injury to the patient or to another. And even though possessing knowledge, you should not boast exceedingly of your knowledge; for many are exceedingly repelled even by an authoritative person who boasts.'
