By such conduct you have honoured and maintained the authority of yourself, the scriptures, the Vedas, the Pitris and the Rishis, the Grandfather Brahman himself, and those elders, viz., the Prajapatis. Adherence to the scriptures has been upheld. You have today, O chief of the Bharatas, acted very properly.
आत्मा धर्मः श्रुतं वेदाः पितरश्चर्षिभिः सह। साक्षात् पितामहो ब्रह्मा गुरवोऽथ प्रजापतिः॥ प्रमाणमुपनीता वै स्थिताश्च न विचालिताः। तदिदं सम्यगारब्धं त्वयात्र भरतर्षभ॥
