बहिर्लोकोचिताचारा विहरिष्यन्ति वै जनाः ।
भवार्णवं तरिष्यन्ति धीमन्तः पोतकान्विताः ॥ ८ ॥

bahirlokocitācārā vihariṣyanti vai janāḥ |
bhavārṇavaṃ tariṣyanti dhīmantaḥ potakānvitāḥ || 8 ||

Those who conform with their customs of the country, and conduct themselves in the ordinary course of men in their outward demeanour, and cherish their inward sentiments in the close recesses of their bosoms, are reckoned as truly wise, and are sure to get over the ocean of the world on the floating raft of their wisdom.
