eteṣāṃ pretyabhāve tu katamaḥ svargajittamaḥ |
etadācakṣva me brahmanyathātathyena pṛcchataḥ || 32 ||
"Syumarasmi said, 'Amongst those that are given up to enjoyment (of property), they that make gifts, they that perform sacrifices, they that devote themselves to the study of the Vedas, and they that betake themselves to a life of Renunciation after having acquired and enjoyed wealth and all its pleasures, when they depart from this world, who is it that attains to the foremost place in heaven? I ask thee this, O Brahmana! Do thou tell me truly.'
