Somaka said: I do not desire to go to the region of bliss without this Brahmana here. O Dharmaraja, I desire to live with him. O god, my act is identical with that done by him and therefore the fruits of our acts must be the same.
सोमक उवाच पुण्यान्न कामये लोकानृतेऽहं ब्रह्मवादिनम्। इच्छाम्यहमनेनैव सह वस्तुं सुरालये॥ नरके वाधर्मराज कर्मणास्य समो ह्यहम्। पुण्यापुण्यफलं देव सममस्त्वावयोरिदम्॥
