इतिहासमिमं श्रुत्वा यथावदनुपूर्वशः। संयतात्मा शुचिर्भूत्वा पारं गत्वा च भारते॥ तेषां श्राद्धानि देयानि श्रुत्वा भारत भारतम्। ब्राह्मणेभ्यो यथाशक्त्या भक्त्या च भरतर्षभ॥ महादानानि देयानि रत्नानि विविधानि च। गावः कांस्योपदोहाच कन्याश्चैव स्वलंकृताः॥ सर्वकामगुणोपेता यानानि विविधानि च। भवनानि विचित्राणि भूमिर्वासांसि काञ्चनम्॥
