यो ददाति द्विजश्रेष्ठ तस्य पुण्यफलं शृणु । तस्य ते द्वादशाब्दानि तृप्तिं यान्ति न संशयः
yo dadāti dvijaśreṣṭha tasya puṇyaphalaṃ śṛṇu | tasya te dvādaśābdāni tṛptiṃ yānti na saṃśayaḥ
ହେ ଦ୍ୱିଜଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ, ଯେ ଦାନ କରେ ତାହାର ପୁଣ୍ୟଫଳ ଶୁଣ। ତାହାର ପିତୃମାନେ ବାରୋ ବର୍ଷ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ତୃପ୍ତି ପାଆନ୍ତି—ଏଥିରେ ସନ୍ଦେହ ନାହିଁ।
