na cāpi vikṣipet pādau pādaṃ pādena nākramet /
marmābhighātamākrośaṃ paiśunyañca vivarjayet //
“And a wise man should never stand with his foot or his leg extended: nor should he throw out both his feet; nor should be press one foot on the other.
“He should eschew deadly attacks, abuse and calumny. A clever man should not display deceit, self-conceit, or sharpness. He should not disgrace with ridicule fools, insane persons, or those in calamity, the deformed, or magicians, or those who have limbs deficient or superfluous.
