Sanskrit Original

देवा ऊचुः ऋणिनो मानवा ब्रह्मन् जायन्ते तेन तच्छृणु। क्रियाभिर्ब्रह्मचर्येण प्रजया च न संशयः॥ तदपाक्रियते सर्वं यज्ञेन तपसा श्रुतैः। तपस्वी यज्ञकृच्चासि न च ते विद्यते प्रजा॥

The Celestial said: O Brahmana, hear of those acts and things for which men are bom debtors. There is no doubt that men are born debtors for Kriya, religious rites, for Brahmacharya, study according to the ordinance and for progeny. These debts are discharged by scarifies, asceticism and offspring. You are an ascetic, you have also performed scarifies, but you have no offspring.
