He who abstains from every kind of flesh, who is possessed of a pure heart, who is gifted with righteousness, who worships his parents with respect, who is endued with truthfulness of speech and conduct, who attends with obedience upon the Brahmanas, who is faultless in conduct, who never behaves with anger towards kine and towards the Brahmanas, who performs every duty, who serves his preceptors with reverence, who is devoted for his whole life to truth and to gifts, and who is always forgiving towards all transgressions against himself, who is mild and selfcontrolled, who is full of respect for the celestials, who is hospitable to all guests, who is gifted with mercy, indeed, he who is adorned with these attributes, succeeds in attaining to the eternal region of kine.
