पञ्चवर्णोत्पत्तिः — The Origin of the Five-Colored Fiery Being and Ritual-Disruptor Lineages
अनसूयु: कृतज्ञश्न कल्याणानि च सेवते । सुखानि धर्ममर्थ च स्वर्ग च लभते नर:,पुण्यात्मा मनुष्य दोषदृष्टिसे रहित और कृतज्ञ होकर कल्याणकारी कर्मोंका सेवन करता है तथा उसे सुख, धर्म, अर्थ एवं स्वर्गकी प्राप्ति होती है
anasūyuḥ kṛtajñaś ca kalyāṇāni ca sevate | sukhāni dharmam arthaṃ ca svargaṃ ca labhate naraḥ ||
The hunter said: A person who is free from fault-finding, who is grateful, and who practices what is wholesome and beneficial, attains happiness here, gains dharma and prosperity, and ultimately reaches heaven. The verse frames gratitude and non-censoriousness as ethical disciplines that naturally mature into well-being, righteous standing, material stability, and a good posthumous destiny.
