2.6.1

With a spiritual guide belonging to the Pippalāda school, learned in the Vedic mantras, / the realm increases in wealth and grain in this manner, without a doubt.

2.6.2

One desiring land should not ask of an arrogant, cruel, negligent king / who lacks faith and does not follow the śāstras, even though he is a giver.

2.6.3

Having muttered the Gāyatrī a hundred thousand times, one who sacrifices for those unfit to sacrifice / is purified, as is even a killer of an embryo or an eater of a Caṇḍāla's food.

2.6.4

Purification through the abandonment of all possessions has been declared by others; / and by others, through having recited the beginning and concluding verses of the four Vedas.

2.6.5

Whether from sacrificing, from sorcery, or anywhere in ritual involving mantras, / they declare the twice-born to be purified indeed, having the radiance of fire and gold.

2.6.5.p1

Thus ends the Preservation of the Realm.
