From Dharma is obtained wealth and from Dharma again is obtained Kâma the fulfilment of desires, it is through Dharma that this world and the next are enjoyed —4 It is Dharma only that accompanies the embodied soul wherever it goes, friends and relatives do not follow All other things excepting Dharma perish with the body The soul comes into existence by itself and leaves the body similarly It is only followed by Dharma. It is not followed by any brother, friend, wife, son &c Fortune &c are begotten by Dharma.—5-6

Cleverness in works, fortune, beauty, all spring from Dharma The prosperous realms of Brahmâ, Indra, Upendra, Śiva, Chandramâ, Yama, Sun Agni, Vayu, Water, Vasu, Aśvanikumâra, and Kuvera &c. are all attained by means of Dharma and by virtue of it men are born amidst comfortable surroundings—7 8
