Verse 7.160.38

यस्त्विदं कल्पितं च द्वे वस्तुनी अनुवर्तते ।
स्वर्गादिवदवाप्नोति प्राप्नोत्येवैकमेकधीः ॥ ३८ ॥

yastvidaṃ kalpitaṃ ca dve vastunī anuvartate |
svargādivadavāpnoti prāpnotyevaikamekadhīḥ || 38 ||

But whoso pursues after the two fold objects of heaven and heavenly bliss, by means of his religious rites and sacrifices in this life; acquires both of them afterwards, as the unity of purpose secures one only to one.
