panthā deyo brāhmaṇānāṃ rājño duḥ khāturasya ca //
“He should not talk of his guru’s evil-doing, and he should appease him when angry. He should not listen to abuse when others utter it.
“And he should yield the path to brāhmans, to the king, and to one who is ill with pain, to his superior in learning, to a pregnant woman, to a man labouring under a burden, to a younger man, to the dumb, blind and deaf, to a drunken man, and to a mad man, to a prostitute, to an enemy, to a child and to an outcaste.
