Maheshvara said That man who is desirous of determing what is righteousness, and who wishes to acquire prominent virtues and qualities, and who always puts questions to the Brahmanas with a view to find out the path leading to his highest good, succeeds in ascending to Heaven.
श्रीमहेश्वर उवाच श्रेयांसं मार्गमन्विच्छन् सदा यः पृच्छति द्विजान्। धर्मान्वेषी गुणाकाङ्गी स स्वर्गे समुपाश्नुते॥
