That twiceborn man, goddess, who having properly performed initiation keeps his senses under control, and placing his Self on Self frees himself from the sense of mineness, desirous of achieving virtue, and sets out, without a covering for his body, after the due observance of the duties of initiation for twelve years and after having placed his sacred fire on a tree, and walks along the path of heroes and lies down in the attitude of heroes, and always acts like heroes, certainly acquires the end that is reserved for heroes.
यस्तु देवि यथान्यायं दीक्षितो नियतो द्विजः। आत्मन्यात्मानमाधाय निर्ममो धर्मलालसः॥ चीवा॑ द्वादशवर्षाणि दीक्षामेतां मनोगताम्। अरणीसहितं स्कन्धे बद्ध्वा गच्छत्यनावृतः॥ वीराध्वानगतो नित्यं वीरासनरतस्तथा। वीरस्थायी च सततं स वीरगतिमाप्नुयात्॥
