O sage, the rites of Pitṛs are better than the rites of the gods. O brahmin sage, since you are a devotee of the Pitṛs you shall be free from old age and death.
न योगेन गतिस्सा तु पितृभक्तस्य या मुने ।। पितृभक्तिर्विशेषेण तस्मात्कार्या महामुने ।। ८ ।।
O sage, the goal attained by devotion to the Pitṛs is not attained by the practices of Yoga. O great sage, so devotion to the Pitṛs shall be pursued with care.
