तस्मात् कोपं च कामं च व्यसन आरम्भम् आत्मवान् । परित्यजेन् मूल हरं वृद्ध सेवी जित इन्द्रियः ॥

Hence be who is possessed of discretion should associate with the aged, and, after controlling his passions, abandon both anger and desire which are productive of other evils and destructive of the very basis (of life).

english translation

tasmAt kopaM ca kAmaM ca vyasana Arambham AtmavAn । parityajen mUla haraM vRddha sevI jita indriyaH ॥
