यश्च नो ब्राह्मणं हन्याद्यश्च नो ब्राह्मणान्द्विषेत् । न नः स समितिं गच्छेद्यश्च नो निर्वपेत्कृषिम्॥५-३६-३१॥
Whoever among us would harm a brāhmaṇa, or whoever would hate brāhmaṇas—let such a one not enter our assembly, nor be entrusted with the sowing of our fields.
english translation
तृणानि भूमिरुदकं वाक्चतुर्थी च सूनृता । सतामेतानि गेहेषु नोच्छिद्यन्ते कदाचन॥५-३६-३२॥
Grass for a seat, the ground as a place to sit, water, and as the fourth, speech—gentle and truthful: these are never absent from the homes of the virtuous.
english translation
श्रद्धया परया राजन्नुपनीतानि सत्कृतिम् । प्रवृत्तानि महाप्राज्ञ धर्मिणां पुण्यकर्मणाम्॥५-३६-३३॥
O king, with profound faith they are offered and duly honored; O greatly wise one, such observances are the established ways of the righteous, whose deeds are rich in merit.
english translation
सूक्ष्मोऽपि भारं नृपते स्यन्दनो वै शक्तो वोढुं न तथान्ये महीजाः । एवं युक्ता भारसहा भवन्ति महाकुलीना न तथान्ये मनुष्याः॥५-३६-३४॥
O king, even a light chariot can bear a burden, while other conveyances cannot in the same way. So too, when rightly trained and disciplined, those of noble lineage become able to carry responsibility; others do not to the same extent.
english translation
न तन्मित्रं यस्य कोपाद्बिभेति यद्वा मित्रं शङ्कितेनोपचर्यम् । यस्मिन्मित्रे पितरीवाश्वसीत तद्वै मित्रं संगतानीतराणि॥५-३६-३५॥
He is no friend whose anger one must fear, nor is he a friend whom one approaches with suspicion. The friend in whom one may rest with trust as in one’s own parents—he alone is truly a friend; the rest are mere associations.
