sahasraṃ hi sahasrāṇām anṛcāṃ yatra bhuñjate
ekas tān mantravit prītaḥ sarvān arhati dharmataḥ //
Though a million of men, unaquainted with the Rikas, were to dine at a (funeral sacrifice), yet a single man, learned in the Veda, who is satisfied (with his entertainment), is worth them all as far as the (production of) spiritual merit (is concerned).
