Adhyāya 59: On Giving to the Asker and Supporting the Non-asking (याचक-अयाचक-दाने धर्मः)
भविता त्वं च सम्बन्धी भूगूणां भावितात्मनाम् | तुमसे तीसरी पीढ़ीमें तुम्हें ब्राह्मणत्व प्राप्त हो जायगा और तुम शुद्ध अन्तः:करणवाले भगुवंशियोंके सम्बन्धी होओगे
bhavitā tvaṃ ca sambandhī bhṛgūṇāṃ bhāvitātmanām |
भविता त्वं च सम्बन्धी भृगूणां भावितात्मनाम्। तव तृतीये वंशे ब्राह्मणत्वं प्राप्स्यसि, शुद्धान्तःकरणानां भृगुवंशीयानां च सम्बन्धी भविष्यसि।

Educational Q&A
Inner cultivation and purity (bhāvitātman) are presented as the basis for worthy affiliation and elevated status; ethical refinement and disciplined character are what make one fit for association with revered lineages like the Bhṛgus.
The speaker gives a boon/assurance about the listener’s future: the person will become connected by kinship with the Bhṛgu family and, over time, attain recognized brāhmaṇa status—framing social identity as linked to moral and spiritual refinement.
