== धर्मसञ्चयः ॥ Accumulation of Merits ==

* Causing no pain to any creature, one should slowly accumulate spiritual merit, for the sake (of acquiring) a companion after death, just as the termites (gradually raises their) mound. For when we die neither father, nor mother, nor spouse, nor children, nor relations continue with us as companions; spiritual merit alone remains (with us). (Manu Smrt. 4.238, 239). Let him therefore always slowly accumulate spiritual merit, in order (that it may be his) companion (after death); for with merit as his companion he will traverse a gloom difficult to traverse. (4.242) (That companion) speedily conducts the man who is devoted to duty and effaces his sins by austerities, to the next world, radiant and clothed with an ethereal body. (4.243)
