Shloka 43
ऋत्विग्धर्मः, दक्षिणा-न्यायः, तपसः परमार्थः
Ritvij-Dharma, the Norm of Dakṣiṇā, and the Higher Meaning of Tapas
Devanagari script
यस्मिन्नेतानि दृश्यन्ते स पुरोहित उच्यते । जिनमें क्रूरताका सर्वथा अभाव है, जो सत्यभाषण करनेवाले और सरल हैं, जो व्याज नहीं लेते तथा जिनमें द्रोह और अभिमानका अभाव है, जिनमें लज्जा, सहनशीलता, इन्द्रियसंयम और मनोनिग्रह आदि गुण देखे जाते हैं, वे ही पुरोहित कहलाते हैं
Translation
He in whom these qualities are seen is called a purohita (royal priest): one wholly devoid of cruelty, truthful of speech and straightforward, who takes no usury, and in whom there is neither treachery nor pride; in whom are found modesty, forbearance, restraint of the senses, and mastery of the mind—such alone are called purohitas.
