यस्त्वेकं भोजयेद्विप्रं द्वारकायां च संस्थितम् । सुभिक्षे भो द्विजश्रेष्ठाः फलं लक्षगुणं भवेत्
yastvekaṃ bhojayedvipraṃ dvārakāyāṃ ca saṃsthitam | subhikṣe bho dvijaśreṣṭhāḥ phalaṃ lakṣaguṇaṃ bhavet
ਪਰ ਜੋ ਕੋਈ ਦ੍ਵਾਰਕਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੱਸਦੇ ਇਕ ਵੀ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣ ਨੂੰ ਭੋਜਨ ਕਰਾਵੇ—ਹੇ ਦ੍ਵਿਜ-ਸ਼੍ਰੇਸ਼ਠੋ—ਸੁਭਿੱਖ ਦੇ ਸਮੇਂ ਉਸ ਦਾ ਫਲ ਲੱਖ ਗੁਣਾ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।
