धान्यदः शाश्वतं सौख्यं ब्रह्मदो ब्रह्म शाश्वतम् । वार्यन्नपृथिवीवासस्तिलकाञ्चनसर्पिषाम्
dhānyadaḥ śāśvataṃ saukhyaṃ brahmado brahma śāśvatam | vāryannapṛthivīvāsastilakāñcanasarpiṣām
جو اناج کا دان کرے وہ دائمی سکھ پاتا ہے؛ جو برہما ودیا/مقدس گیان کا دان کرے وہ ابدی برہمن کو پاتا ہے۔ اسی طرح پانی، کھانا، زمین، رہائش، تل، سونا اور گھی کے دان بھی عظیم پُنّیہ بخش ہیں۔
