स्वायते मृदुनि स्वच्छे किमसंकल्पने भयम् ।
इदं श्रेय इद नेति सिद्धमाबालमक्षतम् ॥ ३७ ॥

svāyate mṛduni svacche kimasaṃkalpane bhayam |
idaṃ śreya ida neti siddhamābālamakṣatam || 37 ||

What is good, and what is not so, is well known for certain even to boys (i. e. the immutability of good and evil is plain to common and simple understandings); therefore employ your mind to what is good, as they train up children in the paths of goodness.
