संध्यातिक्रमणाद्विप्रो ब्राह्मण्यात्पतते यतः असत्यं न वदेत् किंचिन् न सत्यं च परित्यजेत्

saṃdhyātikramaṇādvipro brāhmaṇyātpatate yataḥ asatyaṃ na vadet kiṃcin na satyaṃ ca parityajet

Translation

Kerana seorang Brahmana dwija jatuh daripada martabat Brahmana apabila mengabaikan upacara Sandhyā, maka janganlah dia menuturkan walau sedikit dusta, dan jangan pula meninggalkan amalan kebenaran. Dengan teguh pada nitya-karma dan satya, paśu (jiwa terikat) disucikan untuk menerima anugerah Pati, Śiva.
