na tat parasya saṁdadhyāt pratikūlaṁ yad ātmanaḥ |
saṅgraheṇaiṣa dharmaḥ syāt kāmād anyaḥ pravartate || 187 ||
That which is disagreeable to one's self, should never be applied to another. Briefly even this
is Dharma. Other deeds which arise from selfish desire are Adharma.
yasmin yathā vartate yo manuṣyas tasmiṁs tathā vartitavyaṁ sa dharmaḥ |
māyācāro māyayā vartitavyaḥ sādhvācāraḥ sādhunā pratyudeyaḥ
You should behave towards others just they behave towards you. Even this is consistent with
social polity. One may behave deceitfully towards one that behaves deceitfully, but honestly
towards one that is honest.
