कामक्रोधौ वशौ यस्य त॑ देवा ब्राह्मण विदु: । जो जितेन्द्रिय, धर्मपरायण, स्वाध्यायतत्पर और पवित्र है तथा काम और क्रोध जिसके वशमें है, उसे देवतालोग ब्राह्मण मानते हैं

Translation
The Brahmin said: ‘He whose desire and anger are held in check—under his mastery—is recognized by the gods as a true Brahmin. One who has conquered the senses, is devoted to dharma, is intent on sacred study, and is pure; for whom lust and wrath are subdued—such a person the divine beings regard as a Brahmin.’
