English translation
“Giving up the association of those opposed to the Lord; not being attached to making disciples; not being enthusiastic for huge undertakings; avoiding the study of useless books just to make a living or to defeat others in useless arguments; not feeling miserable in any material circumstances; not being subject to lamentation or other extreme emotions; not showing disrespect to the devatās; not giving disturbance to other living entities; not committing sevā-aparādha or nāma-aparādha; not tolerating criticism of Kṛṣṇa and His devotees by those who hate them. These ten aṅgas should be observed by avoidance.”
