4.204
yamān seveta satataṃ na nityaṃ niyamān budhaḥ
yamān pataty akurvāṇo niyamān kevalān bhajan //
A wise man should constantly discharge the paramount duties (called yama), but not always the minor ones (called niyama); for he who does not discharge the former, while he obeys the latter alone, becomes an outcast.
