Honouring the gods, the twice-born, one's teachers, and the wise; purity; uprightness, that is, straightness of conduct; continence; and non-injury, this is called the austerity of the body. It is austerity accomplished by the body, brought about by all the instruments of action together, the agent and the rest. Later it will be said that these are its five causes.
