राजसूयाश्वमेधाद्यैरिष्ट्वा यज्ञशतैरपि ।
महाकल्पान्तमप्यंशं स्वर्गं प्राप्नोति नाधिकम् ॥ ३८ ॥

rājasūyāśvamedhādyairiṣṭvā yajñaśatairapi |
mahākalpāntamapyaṃśaṃ svargaṃ prāpnoti nādhikam || 38 ||

The real good that is derived here by means of painful austerities, are the arduous sacrifices of rajasuya asvamedha and others, or the attainment of heaven; which has no reality in it, by reason of its short duration of the small portion of a kalpa compared with eternity.
