Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
‘ If a man is healthy, wealthy, and lord of others, surrounded by all human enjoyments, that jvatara-upanishad VI,. is the highest blessing of men. Now a hundred of these human blessings make one blessing of the fathers who have conquered the world (of the fathers). A hundred blessings of the fathers who have conquered this world make one blessing in the Gan- dharva world. A hundred blessings in the Gandharva world make one blessing of the Devas by merit (work, sacrifice), who obtain their godhead by merit. A hundred blessings of the Devas by merit make one blessing of the Devas by birth, also (of) a.Srotriya who is without sin, and not overcome by desire. A hundred blessings of the Devas by birth make one blessing in the world of Pra^apati, also (of) a.Srotriya who is without sin, and not overcome by desire. A hundred blessings in the world of Praglpati make one blessing in the world of Brahman, also (of) a.Srotriya who is without sin, and not overcome by desire. And this is the highest blessing. ‘ This is the Brahma-world, O king,’ thus spake Yi^avalkya. Ganaka Vaideha said: ‘ I give you, Sir, a thousand. Speak on for the sake of (my) emancipation.’ Then Yatbzavalkya was afraid lest the King, having become full of understanding, should drive him from all his positions.
