तत्कर्तव्यमशङ्केन यन्न गोप्यं महाजने ।

एवमाचरतो वत्स ! पुरुषस्य गृहे सतः ।

धर्मार्थकामसम्प्राप्त्या परत्रेह च शोभनम् ॥

Transliteration

tat kartavyam aśaṅkena yan na gopyaṃ mahājane /

evam ācarato vatsa ! puruṣasya gṛhe sataḥ /

dharmārthakāmasaṃprāptyā paratreha ca śobhanam

Translation

Apa yang tidak perlu disembunyikan dari khalayak hendaknya dilakukan tanpa ragu. Bagi seorang grihastha yang hidup demikian, pencapaian dharma, artha, dan kāma mendatangkan kebaikan serta kehormatan di dunia ini dan di alam sesudahnya, wahai anak terkasih.

FAQs

A practical ethical test is offered: do what can withstand public scrutiny. Such transparent conduct supports a balanced human life—dharma, prosperity, and rightful enjoyment—leading to honor in both worlds.
