Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 21

Sanskrit:

अहिंसा सत्यमस्तेयमकामक्रोधलोभता ।भूतप्रियहितेहा च धर्मोऽयं सार्ववर्णिक: ॥ २१ ॥

ITRANS:

ahiṁsā satyam asteyamakāma-krodha-lobhatābhūta-priya-hitehā cadharmo ’yaṁ sārva-varṇikaḥ

Translation:

Nonviolence, truthfulness, honesty, desire for the happiness and welfare of all others and freedom from lust, anger and greed constitute duties for all members of society.

Purport:

The word sārva-varṇika indicates that the above-mentioned principles constitute general piety, which should be observed by all members of society, even those outside the varṇāśrama system. We practically find that even in societies that have fallen away from the varṇāśrama system, the above-mentioned principles are honored and encouraged. Such principles do not constitute a specific path of liberation but are perennial virtues in human society.
