अहिंसासत्यास्तेय ब्रह्मचर्यापरिग्रहाः यमाः ॥३०॥ |
ahiṁsā-satya-asteya brahmacarya-aparigrahāḥ yamāḥ ॥30॥ |
| ahimsa = non-violence, non-harming, non-injury satya = truthfulness, honesty asteya = non-stealing, abstention from theft brahmacharya = walking in awareness of the highest reality, continence, remembering the divine, practicing the presence of God aparigraha = non-possessiveness, non-holding through senses, non-greed, non-grasping, non-indulgence, non-acquisitiveness yama = codes of restraint, abstinences, self-regulations |
Respect for others (yama) is based on non-violence (ahimsa); truthfulness (satya); not stealing (asteya); non-covetousness (aparigraha); and acting with an awareness of higher ideals (brahma-charya). ||30|| |
