यथाप्रसादं च यथानुभावं कल्पं बहुं चापि समोहरित्वा ।
पुनर् पुनः देन्ति प्रसन्नचित्ता समुच्चयं गच्छति पुण्यराशिः ॥ ३५ ॥

yathāprasādaṃ ca yathānubhāvaṃ kalpaṃ bahuṃ cāpi samoharitvā |
punar punaḥ denti prasannacittā samuccayaṃ gacchati puṇyarāśiḥ || 35 ||

In proportion to their faith and their means they make their common contribution over a long period, and, with devotion in their hearts, they give again and again. And thus the store of their merit goes on increasing. (35)
