Chapter 10: Punishment
Verse 14
Global verse #142
If one who is richly adorned lives in tranquillity, is calm, controlled, assured (of eventual enlightenment), and devotes himself to the spiritual life, laying down the stick with regard to all living beings, then (despite his being richly adorned), he is a brāhmaṇa, he is an asketic, he is an almsman.
