Sanskrit Original
षट्कर्मनिरता नित्यं शालीना गृहमेधिनः। तुल्यैर्व्यवहरन्ति स्म ह्यदुष्टैः कर्महेतुभिः।।
ṣaṭkarmaniratā nityaṃ śālīnā gṛhamedhinaḥ| tulyairvyavaharanti sma hyaduṣṭaiḥ karmahetubhiḥ||
Yājñavalkya said:: They are long-lived; they compose Mantras; they have divine vision acquired from Īśvara (God); they have started their own lineage; they are perpetually engaged in the enlightenment and can perceive things directly; they have six holy rites; they are modest householders; they deal with every one impartially, faultlessly and in a manner that they cause good religious acts. They sustain themselves by means of tasty exudations prepared by themselves and not all base; they are intelligent householders; they live deep inside the forests.
