Verse 100.51
कृता च वत्सस्य ऋषिस्य पूजा गच्छन्तु ते ऋषयो साधुरूपा ।
ध्याने रता आश्रमे आवसेथ एतं धनं प्रव्रजितस्य श्रेष्ठं ॥ ५१ ॥
kṛtā ca vatsasya ṛṣisya pūjā gacchantu te ṛṣayo sādhurūpā |
dhyāne ratā āśrame āvasetha etaṃ dhanaṃ pravrajitasya śreṣṭhaṃ || 51 ||
Great honour has now been paid to Vatsa the seer. So depart, ye holy seers. Delight in meditation and abide in your retreats—this is the greatest wealth of him who has left the world. (51)
