The giver of earth, it has been already said, rescues ten generations of both his paternal and maternal families. Likewise, by taking away earth that was given away, one sinks himself into hell and casts ten generations of both one's paternal and maternal lines into the same place of misery.
दाता दशानुगृह्णाति दश हन्ति तथा क्षिपन्। पूर्वदत्तां हरन् भूमिं नरकायोपगच्छति॥
