jātīśatena labhate kila mānuṣatvaṃ tatrāpi durlabhataraṃ khaga bho dvijatvam /
yastatra pālayati lālayati vratāni tasyāmṛtaṃ bhavati hastagataṃ prasādāt //
Indeed, after a hundred births one attains human status, and even there twice-born status is harder to obtain, O bird! / Whoever there protects and cherishes observances, to him nectar comes into his hand by grace.
