2.58.38
gosahasrapradātṝṇāṃ yā yā gurubhṛtām api
dehanyāsakṛtāṃ yā ca tāṃ gatiṃ gaccha putraka
na hi tv asmin kule jāto gacchaty akuśalāṃ gatim
Home of all virtuous spirits, earned
By fervent rites and Scripture learned:
By those whose sacred fires have glowed.
Whose liberal hands have fields bestowed:
By givers of a thousand cows,
By lovers of one faithful spouse:
By those who serve their masters well.
And cast away this earthly shell.
None of my race can ever know
The bitter pain of lasting woe.
But doomed to that dire fate is he
Whose guilty hand has slaughtered thee.
