अथ धर्माधिकारः ॥१०॥
सेव्यः क्षान्तिर्मार्दवमार्जवशौचे च संयमत्यागौ । सत्यतपोब्रह्मा किञ्चन्यानीत्येष धर्मविधिः ॥ १६७॥
On Religious Virtues
This path of religious virtues (which consists of) supreme forgiveness, modesty, straight-for-wardness, purity, self-control, renunciation, truthfulness, austerity, chastity and non-acquisition should be resorted to by (a monk ). 167
धर्मस्य दया मूलं न चाक्षमावान् दयां समाधत्ते । तस्माद्यः क्षान्तिपरः स साधयत्युत्तमं धर्मम् ॥ १६८ ॥
Compassion is the root (cause) of religion. An impatient man never possesses compassion. Thus, one who is devoted to forgiveness accomplishes highest virtue. 168
विनयायचाच गुणाः सर्वे विनयश्च मार्दवामतः । यस्मिन्मादेवमखिलं स सर्वगुणभाक्त्वमाप्नोति ॥ १६९॥
All virtues are dependent on humility, and humility (in turn) depends on modesty. (Thus) he who is full of modesty, becomes an abode of all virtues. 169
नानार्जवो विशुध्यति न धर्ममाराधयत्यशुद्धात्मा ।
धर्मा न मोक्षो मोक्षात्परमं सुखं नान्यत् ॥ १७० ॥

The crooked man never becomes pure and the impure individual never follows the rightous path. No liberation is possible without (following) rightous path. (There is) no other highest happiness than liberation. 170
यद् द्रव्योपकरणभक्तपानदेहाधिकारकं शौचम् । तद्भवति भावशौचानुपरोधाद्यत्नतः कार्यम् || १७१ ।।
