Shloka 30
यथा यथा हि सद्वृत्तमालम्बन्तीतरे जना: । तथा तथा सुख प्राप्य प्रेत्य चेह च मोदते,इतर जातीय मनुष्य भी जैसे-जैसे सदाचारका आश्रय लेते हैं, वैसे-ही-वैसे सुख पाकर इहलोक और परलोकमें भी आनन्द भोगते हैं
yathā yathā hi sadvṛttam ālambantī tare janāḥ | tathā tathā sukhaṃ prāpya pretya ceha ca modate ||
Parāśara said: “In whatever measure people take refuge in good conduct, in that very measure they attain happiness; and having gained it, they rejoice both here in this world and after death in the next.”
