Shloka 35
कालयुक्तधर्मविवेकः
Discerning Dharma in Accord with Time
श्रुतवन्तो दयावन्त: शुचय: सत्यसंगरा: । स्वैरर्थ: परिसंतुष्टास्ते नरा: स्वर्गगामिन:,जो शास्त्रज्ञ, दयालु पवित्र, सत्यप्रतिज्ञ और अपने ही धनसे संतुष्ट होते हैं, वे स्वर्गलोकमें जाते हैं
śrutavanto dayāvantaḥ śucayaḥ satyasaṅgarāḥ | svairarthāḥ parisaṃtuṣṭās te narāḥ svargagāminaḥ ||
Mahādeva dijo: “Aquellos hombres que son sabios por la escucha atenta, compasivos en su obrar, puros en su vida, firmes en la verdad como voto, y satisfechos con sus propios medios legítimos, esos alcanzan los mundos celestiales.”
