The great Rishis conquer all the worlds by the practice of celebacy. Seeking all things which are good for himself, by fixing the mind the understanding, practising austerities, by living in forest and lying on fruits and roots, by treading on sacred spots, by practising universal benevolence, and by begging alms at the proper time from the huts of herinits when these become smokeless and the sound of the husking rod is hushed a person attains to Brahma.
ब्रह्मचर्येण वै लोकान् जयन्ति परमर्षयः। आत्मनश्च ततः श्रेयांस्यन्विच्छन् मनसाऽऽत्मनि॥ वने मूलफलाशी च तप्यन् सुविपुलं तपः। पुण्यायतनचारी च भूतानामविहिंसकः॥ विधूमे सन्नमुसले वानप्रस्थप्रतिश्रये। काले प्राप्ते चरन् भैक्ष्यं कल्पते ब्रह्मभूयसे॥
