Yayâti.—“King Śibi has given away all in charity for the sake of going to heaven, consequently, Śibi, the son of Uśînara, is superior to all of you. O King! Śibi is charitable, pure, truthful, harmless, modest, wealthy, enduring, gentle, and views every one with equality. It is for this reason that he is going in that finest chariot.”—19-20.
