अम्बरीष उवाच।। यद्यस्ति दत्तमिष्टं च स्वधर्मो वा स्वनुष्ठितः ।। कुलं नो विप्रदैवं चेद्धरेरस्त्रं प्रशाम्यतु ।। ४६ ।।
Ambarīṣa said:— If I possess the merit of charity and sacrifice, if my spiritual duty has been well performed by me, and if our family considers brahmins godly, let the weapon of Viṣṇu turn calm.
