'O best of the regenerate ones, it is said that the eternal duties of a Brahmana include the study of the Vedas, tranquility of the soul, simplicity in behavior, and the control of the senses. Those who are knowledgeable in virtue and morality proclaim that truth and honesty constitute the highest forms of righteousness.' ॥ 3-197-38 ॥
