Following the body after one's death, one's relatives and kinsmen and friends return placing it on the funeral pyre. Do you unhesitatingly shun those who are men sceptics, who are destitute of mercy, and who are given to wicked ways, and do you try to seek, without listlessness or apathy, that which is for your greatest good.
अनुगम्य विनाशान्ते निवर्तन्ते ह बान्धवाः। अग्नौ प्रक्षिप्य पुरुषं ज्ञातयः सुहृदस्तथा॥ नास्तिकान् निरनुक्रोशान् नरान् पापमते स्थितान्। वामतः कुरु विस्रब्धं परं प्रेप्सुरतन्द्रितः॥
