English
He should always speak the truth, seldom lose temper and perform his religion regularly and undisturbingly. He should not reveal any laziness and perform his daily routine properly and within time. He should speak the truth, sweet and benevolent things by keeping in mind the consequences in the other world. Thus, I have described the religion of a Brahmana succinctly. The Brahmana who follows his religion as the way suggested, attains the abode of Brahma daily. O Brahmanas, the religion of a Brahmana as I have described before you removes all sins from a man. Now I am going to tell the religions prescribed for the Ksatriyas and other castes separately and suggest you all to listen to it carefully.
