देवान्देवयजो यान्ति यक्षा यक्षान्त्व्रजन्ति हि ।
ब्रह्म ब्रह्मयजो यान्ति यदतुच्छं तदाश्रयेत् ॥ ५ ॥

devāndevayajo yānti yakṣā yakṣāntvrajanti hi |
brahma brahmayajo yānti yadatucchaṃ tadāśrayet || 5 ||

The worshippers of gods, get to the region of gods, and those of Yakshas meet at the place of Yakshas, and the adorers of Brahma ascend to Brahmaloka. Resort therefore to what is best and the greatest refuge.
