एषो अद्यैवं करिष्यामि पुण्यं दास्यामि दानं श्रमणब्राह्मणेषु ।
एतेहि दद्याद् अहम् अन्नपानं नाहं अदत्त्वा अमृतं पि पास्ये ॥ २२ ॥
eṣo adyaivaṃ kariṣyāmi puṇyaṃ dāsyāmi dānaṃ śramaṇabrāhmaṇeṣu |

Now this very day I shall begin to live a life of virtue and make gifts to brahmans and recluses. I shall give them meat and drink. I would not even drink ambrosia without first sharing it. (22)
