*yayātiruvāca
yadarhās tadvadadhvaṃ vaḥ santaḥ satyādidarśinaḥ
ahaṃ tu nābhigṛhṇāmi yatkṛtaṃ na mayā purā //

Yayâti.—“You being the speaker of truth, and noble, should utter proper words. I do not accept the fruit of the deeds not done by me in my past life, not because you have expressed your wish like this to one who does not hanker after anything, but the words with which you offered them to me will give you manifold benefit for having done so.”—11-12.
