Avoidance of Rebirth in the Womb: Ethical Conduct and the Prevention of Degraded Rebirth
शीतोष्णवातवर्षादिक्षुत्पिपासासहश्च यः ॥ यो दरिद्रो निरालस्यः सत्यवागनसूयकः ॥
śītoṣṇavātavarṣādikṣutpipāsā-sahaś ca yaḥ || yo daridro nirālasyaḥ satyavāg anasūyakaḥ
जो सर्दी और गर्मी सहेलता है। हवा और बारिश में भी रहता है। भूख और प्यास भी सहेलता है। गरीब है पर काम छोड़ नहीं है। सच बोलता है और किसी से भी जलन नहीं रखता।
