Adhyāya 59: On Giving to the Asker and Supporting the Non-asking (याचक-अयाचक-दाने धर्मः)
भविता त्वं च सम्बन्धी भूगूणां भावितात्मनाम् | तुमसे तीसरी पीढ़ीमें तुम्हें ब्राह्मणत्व प्राप्त हो जायगा और तुम शुद्ध अन्तः:करणवाले भगुवंशियोंके सम्बन्धी होओगे
bhavitā tvaṃ ca sambandhī bhṛgūṇāṃ bhāvitātmanām |
You will indeed become a kinsman of the Bhṛgus—those of purified and disciplined inner nature. In due course (even across generations), you will attain the standing of a brāhmaṇa, and your lineage will be joined in relationship with that stainless Bhṛgu line.

Educational Q&A
Inner cultivation and purity (bhāvitātman) are presented as the basis for worthy affiliation and elevated status; ethical refinement and disciplined character are what make one fit for association with revered lineages like the Bhṛgus.
The speaker gives a boon/assurance about the listener’s future: the person will become connected by kinship with the Bhṛgu family and, over time, attain recognized brāhmaṇa status—framing social identity as linked to moral and spiritual refinement.
