Having performed severe austerity there and initiated his disciples— / Kuśaka and the rest, four [in all]—and taught numerous scriptures,

especially on the full moon day of Kārttika or during the northern course of the sun, / and who also gives the gift of knowledge there to a virtuous brahmin,
16.79.6
is born for seven births in the auspicious lineage of a wealthy brahmin, / intelligent, wise, and prosperous, again and again.
