The principles of Samanya Dharma applicable to all and which
should be the controlling factor were put under five heads in Manusmnriti:
अहिंसा सत्यमस्तेयं शौचम् इन्द्रियनिग्रहः । एतं सामासिकं धर्मं चातुर्वर्ण्येऽब्रवीन्मनुः ॥
Meaning:
Ahimsa (non-violence), Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (not acquiring illegitimate wealth), Shoucham (purity), and
Indriyanigraha (control of senses) are, in brief, the common
Dharma for all the varnas.
Mahabharata had put it under nine heads :-
अक्रोधः सत्यवचनं संविभागः क्षमा तथा । प्रजनः स्वेषु दारेषु शौचमद्रोह एव च ॥ आर्जवं भृत्यभरणं नवैते सार्ववर्णिकाः ।
Truthfulness, to be free from anger, sharing wealth with
others, (samvibhaga) forgiveness, procreation of children
from one’s wife alone, purity, absence of enmity,
straightforwardness and maintaining persons dependent
on oneself are the nine rules of the Dharma for persons
belonging to all the yarnas. (Mahabharata Shantiparva —
6-7-8).<ref>M.Rama Jois (2004), Trivarga, Mumbai: Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan.</ref>
