Sanskrit Text

नैव ते स्वर्गमिच्छन्ति यजन्ति यशोधनैः सतां वर्त्मानुवर्तन्ते यथाबलमहिंसया

English Translation

Such men do not hanker after heaven. They do not worship Brahma in costly Sacrifices. They trade the path of the virtuous. The Sacrifices they celebrate are performed without injury to any creature.
