वित्तवान् भवत्यत्रैव धर्म्मश्चास्य विवर्द्धते। यथा त्वष्टा यथा दाता तथा स्वर्गे महीयते

vittavān bhavatyatraiva dharmmaścāsya vivarddhate| yathā tvaṣṭā yathā dātā tathā svarge mahīyate

He becomes wealthy in this very (world), and his merit increases; as one who fashions, as one who gives, so he is honoured in heaven.
