69.73

Meritorious karma is like the ripening of fruit; / it is not obtained through divine sacrifices. / A person rides the carriage of keeping the precepts, / and in a future birth reaches the heavens. / Decisively knowing that like the extinguishing of a lamp, / one can attain the unconditioned. / Everything is obtained through practice; / what is the use of praying to gods?
