Shloka 44
Yajña-bhāga-vyavasthā and the Pravṛtti–Nivṛtti Framework (यज्ञभागव्यवस्था तथा प्रवृत्तिनिवृत्तिधर्मविवेचनम्)
ब्रह्मलोके निवासं यो ध्रुवं समभिकाडुक्षते । 'शिष्यगण! जो ब्रह्मलोकमें अटल निवास चाहता हो, उसका कर्तव्य है कि वह पढ़नेकी इच्छासे आये हुए ब्राह्मणको सदा ही वेद पढ़ावे || ४३ $ || भवन्तो बहुला: सन्तु वेदो विस्तार्यतामयम्
brahmaloke nivāsaṁ yo dhruvaṁ samabhikāṅkṣate | śiṣyagaṇāḥ! yo brahmaloke ’calanivāsaṁ icchati, tasya kartavyaṁ yat sa adhyayanecchayāgatam brāhmaṇaṁ sadā vedaṁ pāṭhayet ||
Bhīṣma said: “Whoever firmly longs for an assured dwelling in Brahmaloka should make this his duty: he must always teach the Veda to a Brahmin who has come with the desire to study. O group of students, let you be many, and let this Veda be spread widely.”
