ŚĀ 6.16 = KU 4.16
Bālāki said: 'The person who is here in the body—him indeed I venerate.' Ajātaśatru said to him: 'Do not challenge me on this! "Prajāpati"—thus indeed do I venerate him.' Whoever venerates him thus multiplies with offspring, cattle, fame, brahminical splendour, and the heavenly world; he attains a complete lifespan.
