Then \*Mārkaṇḍeya\* gave \*Yudhishṭhira\* some moral precepts and exhortations (III, 190-1).—§ 461: \*Vāmadevacarita\* (q.v.).—§ 462: \*Baka-Cakra-saṃvāda\* (q.v.).—§ 463: \*Çibi\* (q.v.).—§ 464: \*Nāhusha-curita\* (v. \*Yayāti\*).—§ 465, on the same topic: There were two learned and able kings, \*Vṛshadarbha\* and \*Seduka\*. \*Seduka\* knew that \*Vṛshadarbha\* had from his boyhood an unuttered vow, that he would give no other metal to \*brahmans\* than gold and silver. He once sent a \*brahman\*, who asked him for 1,000 horses for his preceptor, to \*Vṛshadarbha\*, who whipped him and then gave him a day's tribute (which was more than the value of 1,000 horses), "because he had whipped him" (III, 196).—§ 466: \*Çibi\* (q.v.).—§ 467: \*Rājyanamahābhāgya\* (q.v.).—§ 468: \*Indradyumnopākhyāna\* (q.v.).—§ 469: Asked by \*Yudhishṭhira\* in what condition (age) a man should practise charity, \*Mārkaṇḍeya\* enumerated four kinds of futile life and sixteen kinds of futile charity. The \*brahmans\* save others and themselves by \*japa\*, \*mantra\*, and \*homa\*. He next enumerated the \*brahmans\* that should be excluded from \*çrāddhas\*, and gave other moral precepts (of offerings to the gods of flowers and sandals and pastes, entertainment of guests); then he enumerated the persons to whom one should make gifts; the effects of various gifts to \*brahmans\* (food is the best).—§ 470: \*Yamaloka\* (q.v.).—§ 471: Precepts about gifts, washing the feet of \*brahmans\*, etc. - [Previous: c5.s9.311.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s9.311.4) - [Next: c5.s9.311.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s9.311.6) - [Up: c5.s9.311](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s9.311) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s9.311.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s9.311.5) · Pramāṇa
