Here the cause of heavenly honor is named directly: the contentment of well-fed brahmins. It is telling that the king's glory grew not from rumor but from the blessing of the wise whom he had gratified: the gratitude of those benefited exalts a man higher than any praise. Thus the scripture shows generosity toward the worthy to be a source of lasting glory; and next comes the general law of such reward.
