अधीयीत ब्राह्मणोऽथो यजेत दद्यादियात्तीर्थमुख्यानि चैव । अध्यापयेद्याजयेच्चापि याज्यान्प्रतिग्रहान्वा विदितान्प्रतीच्छेत्॥५-२९-२१॥
A Brahmin should study; perform yajñas (sacrifices); give in charity; and go to the foremost pilgrimage‑sites. He should teach, officiate sacrifices for those entitled, and accept gifts known to be proper.
english translation
तथा राजन्यो रक्षणं वै प्रजानां कृत्वा धर्मेणाप्रमत्तोऽथ दत्त्वा । यज्ञैरिष्ट्वा सर्ववेदानधीत्य दारान्कृत्वा पुण्यकृदावसेद्गृहान्॥५-२९-२२॥
Likewise, a rājanya (Kṣatriya) should protect the people, acting in accordance with dharma and remaining vigilant; he should give in charity, perform sacrifices, study all the Vedas, establish a household, and—doing meritorious deeds—dwell as a householder.
english translation
वैश्योऽधीत्य कृषिगोरक्षपण्यैर्वित्तं चिन्वन्पालयन्नप्रमत्तः । प्रियं कुर्वन्ब्राह्मणक्षत्रियाणां धर्मशीलः पुण्यकृदावसेद्गृहान्॥५-२९-२३॥
Having studied, a Vaiśya should gather and safeguard wealth through agriculture, the protection of cattle, and trade, remaining ever vigilant; acting in ways pleasing to Brāhmaṇas and Kṣatriyas, steadfast in dharma and performing meritorious deeds, he should uphold the life of the householder.
english translation
परिचर्या वन्दनं ब्राह्मणानां नाधीयीत प्रतिषिद्धोऽस्य यज्ञः । नित्योत्थितो भूतयेऽतन्द्रितः स्यादेष स्मृतः शूद्रधर्मः पुराणः॥५-२९-२४॥
Service and reverent attendance upon Brāhmaṇas are prescribed; he should not undertake Vedic study, and sacrifice (yajña) is restricted for him. Ever active for livelihood and welfare, and never indolent—this is remembered as the ancient dharma of the Śūdra.
english translation
एतान्राजा पालयन्नप्रमत्तो नियोजयन्सर्ववर्णान्स्वधर्मे । अकामात्मा समवृत्तिः प्रजासु नाधार्मिकाननुरुध्येत कामान्॥५-२९-२५॥
Protecting these norms with vigilance, the king should uphold them and set all varṇas in their own proper duties (svadharma). Free from self-serving desire and even-handed toward the subjects, he should not yield to unlawful, dharma-opposed demands.
