Yayâti.—“I am King Yayâti, the world Emperor, the son of Nahuṣa and the father of Puru, and your maternal grandfather. I never speak untruth before any one. I conquered all the world and dedicated it to Brâhmaṇas, and also conferred on them many a beautiful steed. The Devas seeing me doing such noble deeds acknowledged my virtue. After giving away the land, flourishing with all kinds of produce, to the Bâmaṇas, I also bestowed on them innumerable cows, horses, elephants, and a vast quantity of gold. On account of truthfulness, my glory shines before men and the Devas on Earth and in the Heaven respectively. I have not said anything untrue, because it is only truth that is admired by the high-minded. O Aṣṭaka! I am speaking the truth to you and to Pratardhana, Vasumân and Śibi. My conviction is that all the Devas, sages and regions deserve being worshipped and venerated only on account of truth. Any one who, after having conquered the Heaven, offers ungrudgingly and without envy to the best of the twice-born, will attain the same regions where we are going.”—22-27.
