He, O king, who always reads these ordinances about abstention from meat, that are sacred and worshipped by the Rishis or hears it read becomes purged off of every sin and acquire a great happiness on account of the fruition of every desire. Forsooth, he acquires an eminent position among kinsmen.
पठेद् वा य इदं राजञ्छृणुयाद् वाप्यभीक्ष्णशः। अमांसभक्षणविधि पवित्रमृषिपूजितम्॥ विमुक्तः सर्वपापेभ्यः सर्वकामैर्महीयते। विशिष्टतां ज्ञातिषु च लभते नात्र संशयः॥
