संस्काराः पिप्पलादस्य वेदोक्ता वेद पारगैः । षडंगोपांगसंयुक्ता वेदास्तेन समुद्धृताः । तदाश्रमनिवासिभ्यो मुनिभ्यश्च सुपुष्कलाः

ਪਿੱਪਲਾਦ ਲਈ ਵੇਦ-ਪਾਰੰਗਤ ਮੁਨੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਵੇਦਾਂ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਸੰਸਕਾਰ ਕੀਤੇ। ਛੇ ਵੇਦਾਂਗਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਉਪਾਂਗਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਯੁਕਤ ਵੇਦਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਪੂਰੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਅਧੀਨ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ਿਤ ਕੀਤਾ; ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਆਸ਼੍ਰਮ ਦੇ ਨਿਵਾਸੀ ਮੁਨੀਆਂ ਲਈ ਉਹ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੀ ਉਪਕਾਰਕ ਬਣਿਆ।
