Sanatsujāta on Vedic Learning, Truth (Satya), and the Discipline of Dama–Tyāga–Apramāda

एवं वसन्‌ सर्वतो वर्धतीह बहून्‌ पुत्रॉल्लभते च प्रतिष्ठाम्‌ । वर्षन्ति चास्मै प्रदिशो दिशश्न वसन्त्यस्मिन्‌ ब्रह्मचर्ये जनाश्न,ऐसी वृत्तिसे गुरुगृहमें रहनेवाले शिष्यकी इस संसारमें सब प्रकारसे उन्नति होती है। वह (गृहस्थाश्रममें प्रवेश करके) बहुत-से पुत्र और प्रतिष्ठा प्राप्त करता है। सम्पूर्ण दिशा- विदिशाएँ उसके लिये सुखकी वर्षा करती हैं तथा उसके निकट बहुत-से दूसरे लोग ब्रह्मचर्यपालनके लिये निवास करते हैं

evaṁ vasan sarvato vardhatīha bahūn putrān labhate ca pratiṣṭhām | varṣanti cāsmai pradiśo diśaś ca vasanty asmin brahmacarye janāḥ ||

Sanatsujāta said: Living in this way—dwelling in the teacher’s house with disciplined conduct—the student prospers in every respect in this world. Later, entering household life, he gains many sons and also social standing. The quarters and sub-quarters seem to “rain” blessings upon him, and many others come to live near him in order to practice brahmacarya.
