Shloka 29
तृतीयं पारणं प्राप्प द्वादशाहफलं लभेत् । वसत्यमरसंकाशो वर्षाण्ययुतशो दिवि
tṛtīyaṃ pāraṇaṃ prāpya dvādaśāhaphalaṃ labhet | vasaty amarasaṅkāśo varṣāṇy ayutaśo divi ||
Dijo Vaiśampāyana: «Al completar la tercera observancia (pāraṇa), el hombre obtiene un mérito igual al de un sacrificio de doce días. Resplandeciente como los inmortales, mora en el cielo por decenas de miles de años».
