putrāt puṇyataras tubhyaṃ mā putram anutapyathāḥ | ayajvān amadākṣiṇyam abhiśaṅkvaity ety udāharat ||
Translation
ਨਾਰਦ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ—ਤੇਰੇ ਲਈ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਵੀ ਵਧ ਪੁੰਨਵਾਨ (ਧਰਮੀ) ਚੀਜ਼ ਸ਼੍ਰੇਸ਼ਠ ਹੈ; ਇਸ ਲਈ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਲਈ ਵਿਲਾਪ ਨਾ ਕਰ। ਲੋਕ ਇਹ ਕਹਾਵਤ ਦੱਸਦੇ ਹਨ—‘ਜੋ ਯਜ्ञ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਦਾ ਅਤੇ ਦਕਸ਼ਿਣਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਦਿੰਦਾ, ਉਹ ਸ਼ੱਕ/ਨਿੰਦਾ ਦੇ ਯੋਗ ਹੈ।’
