70. No man should sit down on the ground in the presence of a
religious preceptor, a god, or king, or in a (solemn) assembly,
in such a (disrespectful) attitude as to make one foot rest on
the thigh, or with a cloth tied round the (waist and) knees.

71. A controversial discussion should never be carried on with a
religious teacher (__acarya__). He is to be honoured with gifts
of food, money, clothes, and with all other things according to

immediately show their respect by advancing to meet him, and when

religious duty, that act ought not to be committed; for religious
duty (when performed) confers all desired objects.

74. An unrighteous act that may have been committed by great
persons in former times must never be held (worthy of imitation);
but their virtuous conduct only is to be imitated.

75. Let not the secrets of any one be ever anywhere divulged,
the neglect (vyatikrama) of proper respect (for those deserving
of reverence) should never be made, (as if all were to be looked
at) with an equal eye (of esteem).
