Waiśampāyana berkata: “Wahai yang terbaik di antara kaum dwija, setelah menetapkan rasi bintang yang mujur dan hari yang baik demi keberhasilan usaha ini, wahai para brahmana utama, lakukanlah segera apa yang harus dikerjakan berikutnya. Jangan biarkan waktu banyak terbuang karena tergantung dalam kebimbangan; tetapkan keputusan dan laksanakan dengan cepat apa yang patut.”
