Adhyāya 142: Cyavana, the Devas’ Arrogance, and Vāyu’s Counsel on Protecting Brāhmaṇas
राजा सुमन्युने भक्ष्य, भोज्य पदार्थोंके पर्वत-जैसे कितने ही ढेर लगाकर उन्हें शाण्डिल्यको दान दिया था। जिससे उन्होंने स्वर्गलोकमें स्थान प्राप्त कर लिया ।। नाम्ना च द्युतिमान् नाम शाल्वराजो महाद्युति: । दत्त्वा राज्यमूचीकाय गतो लोकाननुत्तमान्,महातेजस्वी शाल्वराज द्युतिमान् महर्षि ऋचीकको राज्य देकर सर्वोत्तम लोकोंमें चले गये
rājā sumanyunā bhakṣya-bhojya-padārthānāṃ parvata-sadṛśān bahūn nikṣepān kṛtvā tān śāṇḍilyāya dānaṃ dattavān; tena sa svargaloke sthānaṃ prāptavān. nāmnā ca dyutimān nāma śālvarājo mahādyutiḥ; dattvā rājyam ṛcīkāya gato lokān anuttamān mahātejasvī.
Bhishma said: King Sumanyu heaped up mountain-like piles of edible provisions and delightful foods and gave them in charity to Shandilya; by that meritorious gift he gained a place in heaven. Likewise, the illustrious Shalva king named Dyutiman—radiant and mighty—handed over his kingdom to the sage Richika and departed to the unsurpassed worlds, showing the power of generosity and the renunciation of sovereignty for higher attainment.
