from mendicants, who frequents no houses, and has but few desires.

beings, whether feeble or strong, and does not kill nor cause
slaughter.

mild with fault-finders, and free from passion among the passionate.

and envy have dropt like a mustard seed from the point of a needle.

408. Him I call indeed a Brahmana who utters true speech, instructive
and free from harshness, so that he offend no one.

409. Him I call indeed a Brahmana who takes nothing in the world that
is not given him, be it long or short, small or large, good or bad.

world or for the next, has no inclinations, and is unshackled.

has understood (the truth), does not say How, how? and who has reached
the depth of the Immortal.

412. Him I call indeed a Brahmana who in this world is above good and
evil, above the bondage of both, free from grief from sin, and from
impurity.
