[देवाह] ऋणिनॊ मानवा बरह्मञ जायन्ते येन तच छृणु करियाभिर बरह्मचर्येण परजया च न संशयः ॥ १-२२०-११ ॥

'The celestials answered, "Hear, O Brahmana, about the acts and reasons that cause men to be born as debtors. Without a doubt, men are born debtors for the sake of religious rites, studies according to the ordinance, and progeny. These debts are discharged through sacrifices, asceticism, and offspring."' ॥ 1-220-11 ॥
