देवताश्चानुमन्यन्ते विमला: सर्वतो दिशः । द्योतते च यथा55दित्य: प्रेतलोकगतो नर:
devatāś cānumanyante vimalāḥ sarvato diśaḥ | dyotate ca yathādityaḥ pretalokagato naraḥ ||
یَم نے کہا—دیوتا بھی رضامندی دیتے ہیں اور ہر سمت پاکیزہ اور مبارک ہو جاتی ہے۔ جو انسان عالمِ اموات میں پہنچتا ہے وہ وہاں سورج کی طرح درخشاں ہوتا ہے۔
यम उवाच
