अतन्द्रितो वर्षति भूरितेजाः संनादयन्नन्तरिक्षं दिवं च । अतन्द्रितो ब्रह्मचर्यं चचार श्रेष्ठत्वमिच्छन्बलभिद्देवतानाम्॥५-२९-११॥

हित्वा सुखं मनसश्च प्रियाणि तेन शक्रः कर्मणा श्रैष्ठ्यमाप । सत्यं धर्मं पालयन्नप्रमत्तो दमं तितिक्षां समतां प्रियं च । एतानि सर्वाण्युपसेवमानो देवराज्यं मघवान्प्राप मुख्यम्॥५-२९-१२॥
Abandoning comfort and what is pleasing to the mind, Śakra attained excellence through action. Vigilant, he upheld truth and dharma, together with self-control, forbearance, equanimity, and what is beneficial. By cultivating all these, Maghavān attained the foremost sovereignty among the gods.

नक्षत्राणि कर्मणामुत्र भान्ति रुद्रादित्या वसवोऽथापि विश्वे । यमो राजा वैश्रवणः कुबेरो गन्धर्वयक्षाप्सरसश्च शुभ्राः । ब्रह्मचर्यं वेदविद्याः क्रियाश्च निषेवमाणा मुनयोऽमुत्र भान्ति॥५-२९-१४॥
There, the constellations shine as the fruits of actions; so too shine the Rudras, Ādityas, Vasus, and Viśvedevas. King Yama, Vaiśravaṇa (Kubera), and the radiant Gandharvas, Yakṣas, and Apsarases shine there; and sages who cultivate brahmacarya, Vedic knowledge, and ritual disciplines also shine there.
english translation
जानन्निमं सर्वलोकस्य धर्मं ब्राह्मणानां क्षत्रियाणां विशां च । स कस्मात्त्वं जानतां ज्ञानवान्सन्व्यायच्छसे संजय कौरवार्थे॥५-२९-१५॥
Knowing this dharma of all people—of Brāhmaṇas, Kṣatriyas, and Vaiśyas—why do you, though wise among the informed, exert yourself, Saṃjaya, for the Kauravas’ cause?
