Dia mencapai vairāgya, ketidakmelekatan, hari demi hari terhadap kecenderungan terpendam di dalam. Dia melangkah dalam perbuatan yang elok dan tertib, lalu bersukacita setiap hari. Terhadap tingkah laku duniawi yang tumpul, dia sentiasa menimbang dengan daya beza. Dia tidak mengucap kata yang menikam titik rawan; dia mengamalkan perbuatan berjasa. Dia melakukan tindakan yang lembut, tidak menggelisahkan orang lain. Dia sentiasa takut akan dosa dan tidak mengharapkan kenikmatan. Dia bertutur kata yang mengandungi kasih dan persahabatan—manis, wajar, serta sesuai dengan tempat dan waktu.
He attains dispassion day by day with respect to the latent tendencies within. He proceeds among actions that are of a ‘good/beautiful’ form and rejoices daily. Regarding worldly, inert behaviors he is continually doubtful (discriminating). He does not utter hurtful points; he practices meritorious deeds. He practices gentle actions that do not cause agitation to others. He continually fears sin and does not seek enjoyment. He speaks words that contain affection and friendliness—pleasant and appropriate—fitting to place and time.

- pāpād → pāpāt (final d from t before voiced consonant)
- vacanāny abhibhāṣate → vacanāni abhibhāṣate (y-sandhi)
