A person by making a gift of earth wins in his next lifenectargiving earth. There is no gift equal to a gift of earth. There is none worthy of greater respect than the mother. There is no duty higher than truth. There is no riches more valuable than that which is given away.
अमृतप्रसवां भूमिं प्राप्नोति पुरुषो ददत्। नास्ति भूमिसमं दानं नास्ति मातृसमो गुरुः। नास्ति सत्यसमो धर्मो नास्ति दानसमो निधिः॥
