śakra uvāca |
adhvaryave duhitaraṃ dadātu cchandoge vā caritabrahmacarye |
ātharvaṇaṃ vedamadhītya vipraḥ snāyīta yaḥ puṣkaramādadāti || 44 ||

"Sakra said, 'Let him who has stolen thy stalks be possessed of the merit of him who bestows his daughter in marriage upon a Brahmana that has duly observed the vow of Brahmacharya or that has duly studied the Samans and the Yajuses! Let him also have the merit of one that undergoes the final bath after completing one's study of the Atharva Veda! Let him who has stolen thy stalks have the merit of having studied all the Vedas. Let him be observant of all duties and righteous in his behaviour! Indeed, let him go to the region of Brahman!'
