Steya-doṣa-nirūpaṇa (On the Nature and Gravity of Theft) — within the Hayagrīva–Agastya Saṃvāda frame
इन्द्र उवाच तारतम्यविभागं च कथय त्वं महामते / सेतुबन्धादिकानां च पुण्यानां पुण्यवर्धनम्
indra uvāca tāratamyavibhāgaṃ ca kathaya tvaṃ mahāmate / setubandhādikānāṃ ca puṇyānāṃ puṇyavardhanam
Indra said: “O great-souled sage, tell me the gradation of merits; and explain how holy acts such as the building of the Setu and the like increase sacred merit.”
