Section on the ‘Person’ who Entices Beings within the Cycle of Rebirth
पयोभक्ष्या दिवं यान्ति जायते द्रविणाढ्यता ॥ गुरुशुश्रूषया नित्यं श्राद्धदानॆन सन्ततिः ॥
payobhakṣyā divaṃ yānti jāyate draviṇāḍhyatā | guruśuśrūṣayā nityaṃ śrāddhadānena santatiḥ ||
Mereka yang menyara diri dengan hanya meminum susu akan pergi ke syurga; daripada disiplin demikian lahir kelimpahan harta. Dengan sentiasa berkhidmat kepada guru, dan dengan dana persembahan dalam upacara śrāddha, zuriat pun diperoleh.
