Gṛhastha-vṛtti and Niyama: Models of Householder Livelihood and Discipline (गृहस्थवृत्ति-नियमाः)
वीतहर्षमदक्रोधो ब्राह्मणो नावसीदति । दानमध्ययन यज्ञस्तपो हीरार्जव॑ दम:
vītaharṣa-mada-krodho brāhmaṇo nāvasīdati | dānam adhyayana-yajñas tapo hrīr ārjavam damaḥ ||
毗耶娑说：远离狂喜、傲慢之醉与嗔怒的婆罗门，不会沉沦于忧苦。对他而言，布施、研习圣智、祭祀、苦行、谦逊、正直、坦诚与自制，乃支撑其生命与行持的德行。

Educational Q&A
Freedom from emotional extremes (elation), ego-intoxication (pride), and anger prevents inner collapse; a life grounded in charity, learning, sacred duty, austerity, modesty, honesty, and self-restraint sustains dharmic stability.
In the didactic discourse of the Śānti Parva, Vyāsa states a general principle of brahminical and ethical conduct: inner equanimity and a set of sustaining virtues keep a person—especially a brāhmaṇa—from falling into dejection.
