ārjave tu rato nityaṃ vasaty amarasaṃnidhau | tasmād ārjavayuktaḥ syād ya icched dharmam ātmanaḥ ||

One who is ever devoted to straightforwardness (ārjava) dwells, as it were, in the very presence of the gods. Therefore, whoever wishes to attain the true fruit of one’s own dharma should cultivate conduct marked by simplicity, honesty, and guilelessness.
