Shloka 39
अस्तौषं तमहं देवं सत्येन वचसा विभुम् | पज्च वै तेन मे दत्ता वरा: शूणुत तान् मम,उस समय मैंने सत्यवचनोंद्वारा उन भगवान् यमकी स्तुति की। तब उन्होंने मुझे पाँच वर दिये। उन वरोंको आप मुझसे सुनिये
astauṣaṃ tam ahaṃ devaṃ satyena vacasā vibhum | pañca vai tena me dattā varāḥ śṛṇuta tān mama ||
तेव्हा मी सत्यवचनांनी त्या सर्वसमर्थ देव यमाची स्तुती केली. प्रसन्न होऊन त्यांनी मला पाच वर दिले. ते वर आता माझ्याकडून ऐका.

Truthful speech and sincere praise offered to a righteous divine authority (Yama, associated with dharma and moral order) become the basis for receiving grace; the verse foregrounds satya (truth) as an ethical power.
Gautama narrates that he praised Yama with truthful words, after which Yama granted him five boons; Gautama then prepares to recount those boons to his listeners.
