Shloka 26
शकुनि (हिरण्मय-पक्षी) उपदेशः — Vighasāśin and the Difficulty of Gārhasthya
त्रिदिवं प्राप्य शक्रस्य स्वर्गलोके विमत्सरा: । वसन्ति शाश्वतान् वर्षज्जना दुष्करकारिण:
tridivaṁ prāpya śakrasya svargaloke vimatsarāḥ | vasanti śāśvatān varṣān janā duṣkarakāriṇaḥ ||
Pagkarating sa Tridiva—sa langit na kaharian ni Śakra (Indra)—yaong mga walang inggit at walang pakikipagtagisan, at nagsasagawa ng mahihirap na panata at disiplina, ay nananahan doon sa mga taong walang hanggan.
