12.2.6
dūre vāry-ayanaṃ tīrthaṃ lāvaṇyaṃ keśa-dhāraṇam /
udaraṃ-bharatā svārthaḥ satyatve dhārṣṭyam eva hi //
6. To go to a distant source of water is the pilgrimage to holy waters, but not resorting to holy preceptors; to grow hair on the head is beauty; to fill one's own belly is the high purpose of self; and officiousness and obstinacy constitute truthfulness.
