avyaṅgāṅgāya saumyāya sadā kalpāṇakāriṇe
sapatnīkāya sampūjya vastramālyavibhūṣaṇaiḥ //

A Brâhmaṇa, free from deformity and of simple habits, should be worshipped, along with his wife, with garments, garlands and ornaments. These things might be given to the preceptor (Guru), if there be one; otherwise, to a really good Brâhmaṇa, free from all feeling of miserliness; for such a feeling leads one to the lower region.—30-31.
