श्राद्धं पितृभ्यो न ददाति दैवतानि न चार्चति । सुहन्मित्रं न लभते तमाहुर्मूठडचेतसम्,जो पितरोंका श्राद्ध और देवताओंका पूजन नहीं करता तथा जिसे सुहृद् मित्र नहीं मिलता, उसे मूढ चित्तवाला कहते हैं
śrāddhaṃ pitṛbhyo na dadāti daivatāni na cārcati | suhṛnmitraṃ na labhate tam āhur mūḍhacetasaṃ ||
ວິດູຣະກ່າວວ່າ: ຜູ້ໃດບໍ່ຖວາຍສຣາດທະ (śrāddha) ແດ່ບັນພະບຸລຸດ ແລະບໍ່ບູຊາເທວະດາ, ແລະດ້ວຍເຫດນັ້ນບໍ່ໄດ້ຮັບມິດຜູ້ຫວັງດີແທ້—ຜູ້ນັ້ນເອີ້ນວ່າ ຈິດໃຈໂງ່ທຶບ.
