All virtues together achieve nobility and grandeur through truth alone, and the Gods fulfill the vow of service due to truth only. 4.

We should never utter such words as hurt the feelings of others. 5. O noble soul! Never speak a word, which creates obstacles for others; even if it may be true, give it up with pride.
