By accomplishing the sacred duties a man becomes honoured in heaven. The virtue, again, of embodied creatures, O best of kings, consists in the ordinances on the subject of acts. All good men belonging to the several modes of life, fixing their faith on virtue, perform their respective duties.
प्रतिपद्य नरो धर्म स्वर्गलोके महीयते। धर्मात्मकः कर्मविधिर्देहिनां नृपसत्तम॥ तस्मिन्नाश्रमिणः सन्तः स्वकर्माणीह कुर्वते॥
