एतान्गुणांस्तात महानुभावानेको गुणः संश्रयते प्रसह्य । राजा यदा सत्कुरुते मनुष्यं सर्वान्गुणानेष गुणोऽतिभाति॥५-३५-४६॥
Among these qualities, dear one, a single quality can powerfully draw the others to itself. When a king honors a person, this one factor makes all virtues appear to shine in him.

अष्टौ नृपेमानि मनुष्यलोके स्वर्गस्य लोकस्य निदर्शनानि । चत्वार्येषामन्ववेतानि सद्भिश्चत्वार्येषामन्ववयन्ति सन्तः॥५-३५-४७॥
O king, there are eight practices in the human world that serve as indicators of the heavenly state. Of these, four are pursued by the good, and four are cultivated by the virtuous.

यज्ञो दानमध्ययनं तपश्च चत्वार्येतान्यन्ववेतानि सद्भिः । दमः सत्यमार्जवमानृशंस्यं चत्वार्येतान्यन्ववयन्ति सन्तः॥५-३५-४८॥
Sacrificial duty (yajña), giving, study, and disciplined austerity (tapas)—these four are pursued by good people. Self-restraint, truthfulness, straightforwardness, and non-cruelty—these four are cultivated by the virtuous.

न सा सभा यत्र न सन्ति वृद्धा न ते वृद्धा ये न वदन्ति धर्मम् । नासौ धर्मो यत्र न सत्यमस्ति न तत्सत्यं यच्छलेनानुविद्धम्॥५-३५-४९॥
That is not an assembly where elders are absent; nor are they true elders who do not speak of dharma. That is not dharma where truth is absent; and that is not truth which is pierced through with deception.

Truthfulness, appearance, learning, knowledge, noble conduct, character, strength, wealth, courage, and eloquent speech—these ten arise from one’s associations and social environment.
