na cāmaṅgalyaveśaḥ syānna cāmaṅgalyavāgbhavet /
dhavalāmbharasaṃvītaḥ sitapuṣpavibhūṣitaḥ //
“One should neither dress unbecomingly, nor speak unbecomingly. One should be clad in pure white raiment, and adorned with white flowers.
34.86.p1
noddhūtonmattamūḍhaiśca nāvinītaiśca paṇḍitaḥ /
“Neither with the haughty, nor with the insane, nor with fools, nor yet with the unmannerly should a wise man form friendship; nor yet with those of bad disposition, nor yet with those who are corrupted with thieving and other vices, nor yet with spend-thrifts, nor with the covetous, nor yet with enemies, nor with prostitutes, nor with inferiors, nor with the husbands of prostitutes. He should never make friendship with the mighty, nor with inferiors, nor with reprobates, nor with the ever-timid, nor yet with fatalists. He should contract friendship with good men, with those who always observe Virtuous custom, with the wise, with the honest, with the powerful, with those who are resolute in action.
