सरथचक्रवन्ति। ब्राह्मणदानंद चा।।
ब्राह्मण वह है जो जिनवर की पूजा करता है, ब्राह्मण वह है जो सुतत्त्व का कथन करता है, वह ब्राह्मण है। जो दुष्ट कथन नहीं करता, ब्राह्मण वह है जो पशु का वध नहीं करता, ब्राह्मण वह है जो हृदय से पवित्र है, वह ब्राह्मण है जो मांस भक्षण नहीं करता, वह ब्राह्मण है जो स्वजन में बकवास नहीं करता। वह ब्राह्मण है जो लोगों को सुपथ पर लगाता है, वह ब्राह्मण है जो सुन्दर तप तपता है, वह ब्राह्मण है जो सन्तों को नमस्कार करता है, वह ब्राह्मण है जो मिथ्या नहीं बोलता, वह ब्राह्मण है जो मद्य नहीं पीता, वह ब्राह्मण है जो कुगति का निवारण करता है, वह ब्राह्मण हैं जो जिन भगवान् के द्वारा उपदेशित त्रेपन क्रियाओं से भूषित है।
घत्ता- जो तिल, कपास और द्रव्य विशेषों को होमकर देवों और ग्रहों को प्रसन्न करता है, पशु और जीव को नहीं मारता, मारनेवाले को मना करता है। पर को और स्वयं को समान समझता है ॥ ६ ॥
