Brahmopadeśa: Adhipatitva-kathana, Dharma-lakṣaṇa, and Kṣetra–Kṣetrajña Viveka
Book 14, Chapter 43
प्राप्रुवन्ति महात्मान इति वित्त द्विजर्षभा: । द्विजवरो! जिनके राज्यमें श्रेष्ठ पुरुषोंकी सब प्रकारसे रक्षा की जाती है
prāpnuvanti mahātmāna iti vitta dvijarṣabhāḥ |
वायू म्हणाला— हे द्विजश्रेष्ठांनो, हे जाणून ठेवा: ज्या राजांच्या राज्यात सत्पुरुषांची सर्व प्रकारे रक्षा केली जाते, ते महामना नरेश या लोकात सुखाचे भागी होतात आणि परलोकात अक्षय सुख प्राप्त करतात.
