असंकरेण धर्मेण तस्माद् गच्छ दिवं द्विज । “अतः ब्रह्मन! तुम अपने ब्रह्मचर्य, दान, यज्ञ, तप तथा संकरतारहित धर्मके प्रभावसे स्वर्गलोकमें चलो
asaṅkareṇa dharmeṇa tasmād gaccha divaṃ dvija |
Bapa mertua itu berkata: “Maka, wahai yang dua kali lahir, pergilah ke syurga—dengan kekuatan dharma yang tidak bercampur dan tidak tercemar.”
