एते त एकतनवो वर्तन्ते द्विजसत्तमाः । भूर्लोकवासिनां याज्याः स्वर्गलोकनिवासिनः ॥ ब्रह्मपुत्रा मरीच्याद्यास्तेषां याज्या महद्गताः ॥ १३.२७ ॥

ഹേ ദ്വിജശ്രേഷ്ഠാ, ഇവർ എല്ലാവരും ഏകതത്ത്വസ്വരൂപരായി പ്രവർത്തിച്ചു തുടരുന്നു. സ്വർഗ്ഗലോകനിവാസികൾ ഭൂലോകവാസികൾക്ക് യാജ്യർ (അർഹർ) ആകുന്നു; കൂടാതെ അവരുടെ കാര്യത്തിൽ ബ്രഹ്മപുത്രന്മാർ—മരീചി മുതലായ മഹത്ത്വം പ്രാപിച്ചവർ—അവരും യാജ്യരാണ്.
