पंथानं नैकलो यायान्न वार्यंजलिना पिबेत् । न दिवोद्भूत सारं च भक्षयेद्दधिनो निशि
paṃthānaṃ naikalo yāyānna vāryaṃjalinā pibet | na divodbhūta sāraṃ ca bhakṣayeddadhino niśi
មិនគួរធ្វើដំណើរតាមផ្លូវតែម្នាក់ឯងទេ ហើយមិនគួរផឹកទឹកដោយត្រដាក់ដោយបាតដៃទាំងពីរដែលប្រជុំជាអញ្ជលីទេ។ នៅពេលយប់ មិនគួរញ៉ាំ ‘សារ’ ដែលឡើងមកនៅពេលថ្ងៃ គឺទឹកដោះគោជូរ/ដាហ៊ី ឬស្រទាប់ខាងលើរបស់វាទេ។
