Adhyāya 208: Aṅgirasī-kanyāḥ
Enumeration of Aṅgiras’ daughters and attribute-names
सत्यमेव गरीयस्तु शिष्टाचारनिषेवितम् । आचारक्न सतां धर्म: संतश्षाचारलक्षणा:,अतः शिष्ट पुरुषोंके आचारमें गृहीत सत्य ही सबसे अधिक गौरवकी वस्तु है। सदाचार ही श्रेष्ठ पुरुषोंका धर्म है। सदाचारसे ही संतोंकी पहचान होती है
satyam eva garīyas tu śiṣṭācāra-niṣevitam | ācāraḥ satāṁ dharmaḥ santaś cācāra-lakṣaṇāḥ ||
الحقّ—إذا اعتُنِق ومورِس على وفق سلوك المهذّبين المنضبطين—هو أعلى القيم. وحُسن السيرة نفسه هو دَرما الأخيار؛ وبهذا السلوك تُعرَف السادةُ الصالحون والأنفسُ النبيلة حقًّا.
