Adhyāya 90: Babhruvāhana’s Reception and the Commencement of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Aśvamedha
न राजसूयैर्बहुभिरिष्टवा विपुलदक्षिणै:,“तुमने जो यह दानजनित फल प्राप्त किया है, इसकी समता प्रचुर दक्षिणावाले बहुसंख्यक राजसूय और अनेक अभश्वमेध-यज्ञोंद्वारा भी नहीं हो सकती। तुमने सेरभर सत्तूका दान करके अक्षय ब्रह्मलोकको जीत लिया है
na rājasūyaiḥ bahubhir iṣṭvā vipula-dakṣiṇaiḥ | tvayā ya idaṁ dāna-janitaṁ phalaṁ prāptaṁ tasya samatā pracura-dakṣiṇāvalaiḥ bahu-saṅkhyakaiḥ rājasūyaiḥ anekair aśvamedha-yajñaiś ca na bhavitum arhati | tvayā serabhara-sattūkā-dānenākṣayaṁ brahmalokaṁ jitaḥ ||
The father-in-law said: “The merit you have gained from this act of giving cannot be matched even by performing many Rājasūya sacrifices endowed with lavish priestly fees, nor even by numerous Aśvamedha rites. By donating a mere measure of roasted barley-flour, you have won the imperishable world of Brahmā.”
