The king of the dead then ordered him messenger, saying Let this one be taken back, and let the other one be brought to me.When the great judge of the dead said these words, that Brahmana addressed him and said I have finished my study of the Vedas and am no longer attached to the world. Whatever period may yet remain of my life, I wish to pass, living here, O you of unfading glory.
प्रोवाच नीयतामेष सोऽन्य आनीयतामिति। एवमुक्ते तु वचने धर्मराजेन स द्विजः॥ उवाच धर्मराजानं निर्विण्णोऽध्ययनेन वै। यो मे कालो भवेच्छेषस्तं वसेयमिहाच्युत॥
