Sanskrit Original
तीर्थादीनां फलं प्राप्य दानादीनां च सर्वशः। मोक्षोपायं लभेच्छ्रेष्ठं स्वर्गोपायं न संशयः। इह चापि परा पुष्ठिस्तस्मात्कुर्वीत नित्यशः।।
tīrthādīnāṃ phalaṃ prāpya dānādīnāṃ ca sarvaśaḥ| mokṣopāyaṃ labhecchreṣṭhaṃ svargopāyaṃ na saṃśayaḥ| iha cāpi parā puṣṭhistasmātkurvīta nityaśaḥ||
Bṛhaspati said: If a person listens to this always, if a Brāhmaṇa expounds this to others, if he is free from jealousy, if he has conquered anger and if he has rid himself of greed and delusion he attains ṭhe benefit of visiting holy centres etc. as well as giving charitable gifts etc and the excellent means of heaven and Mokṣa undoubtedly. Here, he attains the greatest nourishment. Hence, one shall always perform Śrāddha.
