Preview of English translation:
1. Now, then, the praise of the study (of the scriptures). The study and teaching (of the Veda) are a source of pleasure to him, he becomes ready-minded, and independent of others, and day by day he acquires wealth. He sleeps peacefully; he is the best physician for himself; and (peculiar) to him are restraint of the senses, delight in the one thing, growth of intelligence, fame, and the (task of) perfecting the people. The growing intelligence gives rise to four duties attaching to the Brahmana—Brahmanical descent, a befitting deportment, fame, and the perfecting of the people; and the people that are being perfected guard the Brahmana by four duties—by (showing him) respect, and liberality, (and by granting him) security against oppression, and security against capital punishment.
