Having lived there happily, that best of men, born here again, / becomes an emperor, a ruler, or an exceedingly great archer. (31) / But the man who constantly eats on the thirteenth day, / reaches the abode of Bhārgava and dwells [there], endowed with heavenly pleasure. (32) / If that man is born human again, O auspicious ones, / the auspicious one is born in an excellent family full of wealth and grain. (33)
