न विस्मयेत तपसा वदेदिष्ट्वा च नानृतम्।
नार्तोऽप्यपवदेद्विप्रान् न दत्वा परिकीर्तयेत्॥

manusmriti
Do not get arrogant and careless and get the illusion that you are superior merely because you have been observing penance.
Do not tell lies or distort facts on the presumed position of strength that you have performed many superior rites like yajnas.
Do not venture to insult learned persons even if you are in a rundown condition physically or mentally. You should not take your misery as a licence to behave rudely with respectable persons.
In addition, never announce loudly or brag about the charitable activities conducted by you or the valuable gifts given by you.
