The Rishis said We have been highly pleased with words you have uttered. We do not, however, wish penances should diminution. Those sacrifices are approved by us which are performed by fair means. Indeed, we wish duly those sacrifices which rest on lawful means.
ऋषि उवाच प्रीताः स्म तव वाक्येन न विच्छामस्तपोव्ययम्। तैरेव यज्ञैस्तुष्टाः स्म न्यायेनेच्छामहे वयम्॥
