Restrain one’s inner faults and actively honor the virtuous; such disciplined ethical conduct becomes the cause of true success or spiritual attainment (siddhi).
The Brahmin narrator describes a person who conquers his own vices and reveres the good, thereby attaining a great siddhi; immediately after, he begins to recite an auspicious verse (gāthā-kṣemā).
