वैश्योऽधीत्य ब्राह्मणान्क्षत्रियांश्च धनैः काले संविभज्याश्रितांश्च । त्रेतापूतं धूममाघ्राय पुण्यं प्रेत्य स्वर्गे देवसुखानि भुङ्क्ते॥५-४०-२५॥
A vaiśya, having learned from brāhmaṇas and kṣatriyas, and distributing wealth at the proper time to dependents and those who seek refuge, partakes of merit—likened to the sanctified smoke of the sacred fire—and after death enjoys divine felicities in heaven.
