दीनानुकम्पिनां या च सततं संविभागिनाम् | पैशुन्याच्च निवृत्तानां तां गतिं व्रज पुत्रक,"पुत्र! सदाचारके पालनसे राजाओंको तथा सुरक्षित पुण्यके प्रभावसे पवित्र हुए चारों आश्रमोंके लोगोंको जो सनातन गति प्राप्त होती है; दीनोंपर दया करनेवाले, उत्तम वस्तुओंको घरमें बाँटकर उपयोगमें लेनेवाले तथा चुगलीसे दूर रहनेवाले लोगोंको जो गति प्राप्त होती है, वही गति तुम्हें भी मिले
dīnānukampināṃ yā ca satataṃ saṃvibhāginām | paiśunyācca nivṛttānāṃ tāṃ gatiṃ vraja putraka ||
