यस्य किंचिद्गृहे नास्ति ज्ञातिर्वंधुश्च कश्चन ।
नापि मित्रगतिश्चापि प्रव्रज्या तस्य युज्यते ।
किं तव सेत्स्यते पुत्र प्रव्रज्यां पाकुनिष्ठया ।
सर्वथा त्यज तद्वांछा गृहे धर्मं सुखं चर ।
इति पित्रोदितं श्रुत्वा वपुष्मान् स विशंकितः ॥ ६९ ॥ {६९}

yasya kiṃcidgṛhe nāsti jñātirvaṃdhuśca kaścana |
nāpi mitragatiścāpi pravrajyā tasya yujyate |
kiṃ tava setsyate putra pravrajyāṃ pākuniṣṭhayā |
sarvathā tyaja tadvāṃchā gṛhe dharmaṃ sukhaṃ cara |
iti pitroditaṃ śrutvā vapuṣmān sa viśaṃkitaḥ || 69 || {69}
