and who feed on the immortal food Left of such sacrifice, to Brahma
pass, To The Unending. But for him that makes No sacrifice, he hath
nor part nor lot Even in the present world. How should he share
Another, O thou Glory of thy Line? In sight of Brahma all
these offerings Are spread and are accepted! Comprehend That all
proceed by act; for knowing this, Thou shall be quit of doubt.
The sacrifice Which Knowledge pays is
better than great gifts Offered by wealth, since gifts' worth- O my
Prince! Lies in the mind which gives, the will that serves: And
these are gained by reverence, by strong search, By humble heed of
those who see the Truth And teach it.
Knowing Truth, thy heart no more Will
ache with error, for the Truth shall show All things subdued to
thee, as thou to Moreover, Son of Pandu! wert thou worst Of all
wrong-doers, this fair ship of Truth Should bear thee safe and dry
across the sea Of thy transgressions.
