Yudhishthira said O Bharata, O grandfather, you opine that a man attains to heaven by virtue of generousity and austerity, but my mind is doubtful on affirming the same. Kindly let me have an adequate solution. kindly tell me which of the two is better, viz., charity or devotion?
युधिष्ठिर उवाच दानेन वर्ततेत्याह तपसा चैव भारत। तदेतन्मे मनोदुःखं व्यपोह त्वं पितामह। किंस्वित् पृथिव्यां ह्येतन्मे भवाञ्छंसितुमर्हति॥
