अग्राम्यैर्वर्त्तयन्ति स्म रसैश्चैव स्वयङ्कृतैः। कुटुंबिनो बुद्धिमन्तो वनान्तरनिवासिनः।।

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.
