2.18.31
tad etat tu mayā kāryaṃ kriyate bhuvi nānyathā
pitur hi vacanaṃ kurvan na kaś cin nāma hīyate
The road my footsteps journey o'er
Was traversed by the great of yore.
This high command which all accept
Shall faithfully by me be kept,
For duty ne'er will him forsake
Who fears his sire's command to break.'
