4.21
jīvanti jīvite yasya viprā mitrāṇi bāndhavāḥ
jīvitaṃ saphalaṃ tasya ātmārthe ko na jīvati
He whose life sustains brahmins, friends, and relatives— / his life is fruitful; who does not live for his own sake?
4.21.p1
krimayaḥ kiṃ na jīvanti bhakṣayanti parasparam
paralokāvirodhena yo jīvati sa jīvati
Do not worms live too, eating one another? / He who lives without hindrance to the next world, he [truly] lives.
