Jaiminīya (Talavakāra) Brāhmaṇa 2-8.277

'Do tell it to me then,' [he said]. Saying, 'So be it,' he spoke it to him. Therefore a nobleman (rājanyabandhu) is indeed more warm-hearted than a Brahmin. Then Datva Sautemanasa said: 'Indeed, you see the path of the gods. Come, let us two go to the heavenly world.'
