Verse 42.9
यो जायते सो भवते सुशीलो सुसंयतो सुव्रतो ऋजुभूतः ।
अध्यापको भोति समाप्तपादः तस्मा हि अस्माद् दहरो न मृय्यति ॥ ९ ॥
yo jāyate so bhavate suśīlo susaṃyato suvrato ṛjubhūtaḥ |
adhyāpako bhoti samāptapādaḥ tasmā hi asmād daharo na mṛyyati || 9 ||
Everyone of us who is born becomes virtuous, self-controlled, devout and pious; he becomes learned and perfect in his knowledge of the verses. Therefore it is that none of us dies young. (9)
