इत्युक्त्वा नकुलः सर्वान्यज्ञे द्विजवरांस्तदा । जगामादर्शनं राजन्विप्रास्ते च ययुर्गृहान् ॥
English Translation
Having said those words to all those foremost of Brahmanas, the mungoose disappeared from their view. Those Brahmanas then returned to their respective homes.
एतत्ते सर्वमाख्यातं मया परपुरंजय । यदाश्चर्यमभूत्तस्मिन्वाजिमेधे महाक्रतौ ॥
English Translation
Vaishmpayana said O conquerer of hostile towns, I have now told you all about that wonderful incident which took place in that great Horse-Sacrifice.
न विस्मयस्ते नृपते यज्ञे कार्यः कथंचन । ऋषिकोटिसहस्राणि तपोभिर्ये दिवं गताः ॥
English Translation
You should not, o king, think highly of sacrifice. Million of Rishis have ascended to the celestial region with the help of only their penances.
अद्रोहः सर्वभूतेषु संतोषः शीलमार्जवम् । तपो दमश्च सत्यं च दानं चेति समं मतम् ॥
English Translation
Abstention from injury to all creatures, contentment, conduct, sincerity, penances, selfcontrol, truthfulness, and gifts, are each equal in point of merit to sacrifice.
