Ethics of Non-attachment
Devanagari script
गूढधर्माश्रितो विद्वान् विज्ञानचरितं चरेत् । अमूढो मूढरूपेण चरेद् धर्ममदूषयन्,गुहा धर्ममें स्थित विद्वान् पुरुषको उचित है कि वह विज्ञानके अनुरूप आचरण करे। मूढ़ न होकर भी मूढ़के समान बर्ताव करे, किंतु अपने किसी व्यवहारसे धर्मको कलंकित न करे

Translation
Vāyu disse: “O homem sábio, tomando refúgio nos caminhos ocultos (sutis) do dharma, deve conduzir-se de acordo com o verdadeiro discernimento. Embora não esteja iludido, pode mover-se sob o disfarce de alguém simples ou até tolo—mas jamais, por qualquer ato seu, deve manchar ou comprometer o dharma.”
