kena bhūtāni vardhante kṣayaṃ gacchanti kena ca |
kamarcanto mahāprājña sukhamatyantamāpnuyuḥ || 6 ||
"Vasumanas said, 'By what means do creatures grow and by what are they destroyed? O thou of great wisdom, by adoring whom do they succeed in obtaining eternal happiness?' Thus questioned by the Kosala king of immeasurable energy, Vrihaspati of great wisdom discoursed unto him coolly about the respect that should be paid to kings.
