Verse 76.131
यं वेदयसि अनोपमप्रज्ञं मह्यं पुत्रं तस्य पिता ति ब्रूमि ।
पुत्रस्य तस्य मह्य पुत्रो भोसि भुक्त्वान भिक्षु हर पिण्डपात्रं ॥ १३१ ॥
yaṃ vedayasi anopamaprajñaṃ mahyaṃ putraṃ tasya pitā ti brūmi |
putrasya tasya mahya putro bhosi bhuktvāna bhikṣu hara piṇḍapātraṃ || 131 ||
“Since you know my son whose wisdom is unequalled, and whose father I say I am, and since you are a son to him, so are you a son to me. Eat then, O monk, and then take your alms-bowl. (131)
