Only virtuous souls and those of subdued minds and those that have their faculties under control and those that have controlled their senses and those that are free from malice and persons intent on the practice of charity and heroes and men bearing marks of battle, after having subdued senses and faculties and performed the most meritorious rites, attain to those regions, O Brahmana, capable of beings obtained only by virtuous acts and inhabitatedd by pious men.
धर्मात्मानो जितात्मानः शान्ता दान्ता विमत्सराः। दानधर्मरता मर्त्याः शूराश्चाहवलक्षणाः॥ तत्र गच्छन्ति धर्माग्र्यं कृत्वा शमदमात्मकम्। लोकान् पुण्यकृतां ब्रह्मन् सद्भिराचरितान् नृभिः॥
