Enumeration of Aṅgiras’ daughters and attribute-names
गुरुशुश्रूषणं सत्यमक्रोधो दानमेव च । एतच्चतुष्टयं ब्रह्मन् शिष्टाचारेषु नित्यदा,ब्रह्मन! शिष्टाचारी पुरुषोंमें गुरुकी सेवा, सत्य-भाषण, क्रोधका अभाव तथा दान-ये चार सदगुण सदा रहते हैं
guruśuśrūṣaṇaṁ satyam akrodho dānam eva ca | etac catuṣṭayaṁ brahman śiṣṭācāreṣu nityadā ||
قال الصيّاد: «خدمة المعلّم بإجلال، والصدق، وترك الغضب، والكرم بالعطاء—هذه الأربع، يا أيها البرهمن، ملازمةٌ على الدوام لمن يسلك سلوك المهذّبين المنضبطين.»

Educational Q&A
True refinement (śiṣṭācāra) is marked by four steady virtues: serving and honoring the teacher/elders, speaking truth, remaining free from anger through self-restraint, and practicing generosity.
In the Vyādha’s instruction to a Brahmin, the speaker summarizes the ethical hallmarks of ‘cultured conduct,’ presenting a concise fourfold standard by which a person’s dharma can be recognized.
