5.5.24

dhṛtā tanūr uśatī me purāṇī yeneha sattvaṃ paramaṃ pavitram /
śamo damaḥ satyam anugrahaś ca tapas titikṣānubhavaś ca yatra //

24. (I could not think anything to be superior to that Brahmin) by whom My glorious and eternal body (the Vedas) finds support here, in this world and in whom are found the most sanctifying Satva, serenity of mind, control of the senses; truthfulness, gracious disposition, tapas, the spirit of endurance and realisation of self.
