यदिदं ब्रह्मणो रूप॑ ब्रह्मचर्यमिति स्मृतम् परं तत् सर्वधर्मेभ्यस्तेन यान्ति परां गतिम्
Translation
“Ang katangiang tinatawag na brahmacarya (pamumuhay na banal at pagpipigil-sa-sarili) ay inaalala sa mga kasulatan bilang mismong anyo ng Brahman. Higit ito sa lahat ng dharma. Sa pag-iingat ng brahmacarya, natatamo ng tao ang pinakamataas na kalagayan.”
