    Meaning

    Righteousness (rita), and study-and-teaching; truth (satya), and study-and-teaching; austerity, self-control, tranquillity, the (sacred) fires, the agnihotra, guests, human duties, offspring, procreation, the grandchild — (each) together with study and teaching. 'Truth alone,' says Satyavacha of the Rathitara line; 'Austerity,' says Taponitya of the Paurushishti line; 'Study and teaching alone,' says Naka of the Mudgala line — for that is austerity, that is austerity.
