Good Conduct 

na vairam uddīpayati praśāntaṁ na darpam ārohati nāstam eti | na durgato’smīti karoti manyuṁ tam ārya-śīlaṁ param āhuragryam || 104 || 

One who never stirs up old hostilities, who behaves neither arrogantly nor with too much humility, and who, even when fallen on hard times, never commits an improper act, is considered by respectable people to be a person of good conduct. 

na sve sukhe vai kurute praharṣaṁ nānyasya duḥkhe bhavati pratītaḥ | dattvā na paścāt kurute’nutāpaṁ na katthate sat puruṣārya śīlaḥ || 105 || 

One who never rejoices in one's personal happiness, nor delights in another's misery, and who never regrets after having made a gift, is said to be a noble person of good conduct. 

dambhaṁ mohaṁ matsaraṁ pāpa kṛtyaṁ rāja-dviṣṭaṁ paiśunaṁ pūga-vairam | mattonmattair durjanaiścāpi vādaṁ yaḥ prajñāvān varjayetsa pradhānaḥ || 106 || 

That intelligent person who relinquishes pride, self-delusion, jealousy, harmful acts, disloyalty towards elected leaders, calumny, enmity with many, and also never antagonisms those that are drunk, mad and wicked is a leader. 

damaṁ śaucaṁ daivataṁ maṅgalāni prāyaścittaṁ vividhāṅ-lloka-vādān | etāni yaḥ kurute naityakāni tasyotthānaṁ devatā rādhayanti || 107 || 

The devatas rise up and bestow prosperity upon one who daily practices self-restraint (discipline), cleanliness, auspicious rites, worship of the devas, expiatory ceremonies, and other rites of universal benefit. 

samair vivāhaṁ kurute na hīnaiḥ samaiḥ sakhyaṁ vyavahāraṁ kathāśca | guṇair viśiṣṭāṁśca purodadhāti vipaścitas tasya nayāḥ sunītāḥ || 108 || 

The works of that learned person are well-conceived and well-applied who forms matrimonial alliances with persons of equal social standing and not with those that are inferior, who  always promotes those that are more qualified, and who converses with, transacts with, and makes friendships with persons of equal social standing.
