Matsyapurāṇa 112.12

- **Language:** Sanskrit

### [112.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.112.12)

ṛṣibhiḥ kratavaḥ proktā devaiścāpi yathākramam  
na hi śakyā daridreṇa yajñāḥ prāptuṃ mahīpate //

> One who is free from the feeling of anger, is truthful and regards all the beings like himself, also attains the merits of a pilgrimage to this tîrtha.—11. O, King! The Yajñas, defined by the Seers and the Devas, cannot be performed by a man of limited means. Consequently the benefits accruing from such sacrifices are attainable only to the well-to-do and not to the poor.—12-13.  
> — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam
