स निगृह्यात्मनो दोषान् साधून् समभिपूज्य च । जगाम महतीं सिद्धि गाथाश्षेमा जगाद ह
sa nigṛhyātmano doṣān sādhūn samabhipūjya ca | jagāma mahatīṃ siddhiṃ gāthāśṣemāṃ jagāda ha ||
Ia mengekang cacat dalam dirinya dan menghormati orang-orang bajik sebagaimana mestinya. Dengan itu ia meraih siddhi yang agung; lalu ia melafalkan gāthā yang membawa kesejahteraan ini.

Educational Q&A
Restrain one’s inner faults and actively honor the virtuous; such disciplined ethical conduct becomes the cause of true success or spiritual attainment (siddhi).
The Brahmin narrator describes a person who conquers his own vices and reveres the good, thereby attaining a great siddhi; immediately after, he begins to recite an auspicious verse (gāthā-kṣemā).
