Verse 61

⁶¹At Puskara, at Mathura and at Dvaravati, one who holds himself in check, and fasts, and reads this collection, is set free from fear. ⁶²Gods and sages and the perfected, the fathers, the Manus and kings give what is wished for to the one who speaks it and the one who hears it, at the praising of him. ⁶³A twice-born man who studies the Rk verses, the Yajus and the Saman comes to rivers of honey, rivers of ghee and rivers of milk; that is their fruit. ⁶⁴A twice-born man who has made himself ready and studies this collection of the old telling goes to that highest station of which the Bhagavan spoke. ⁶⁵A brahmin who studies it gets understanding; a kshatriya the earth with the ocean for its girdle; a trader the lordship of treasures; and a servant is made clean of any fall.
