TRANSLATION
“Devotees are always merciful, humble, truthful, equal to all, faultless,
magnanimous, mild and clean. They are without material possessions, and
they perform welfare work for everyone. They are peaceful, surrendered to
Krsna and desireless. They are indifferent to material acquisitions and are
fixed in devotional service. They completely control the six bad qualities—
lust, anger, greed and so forth. They eat only as much as required, and they
are not inebriated. They are respectful, grave, compassionate and without
false prestige. They are friendly, poetic, expert and silent.
