Verse 7.214.32

मोक्षोपायकथावस्तुसमाप्तौ द्विजपूजनम् ।
शक्तितः कीटकेनापि कार्यं किमु महीभृता ॥ ३२ ॥

mokṣopāyakathāvastusamāptau dvijapūjanam |
śaktitaḥ kīṭakenāpi kāryaṃ kimu mahībhṛtā || 32 ||

It is incumbent on even a mean worm-like man, to honour the Brahmans to their utmost at the termination of a sermon on salvation; how much more important must it then be on the part of a monarch to acquit himself of this necessary duty.
