"And whatever [destiny belongs] to those compassionate to the poor, always sharing [with others], and turned away from slander — attain that destiny, my son. To vow-keepers, righteous in nature, who serve their teachers, hospitable to guests — attain that destiny, my son. To the wise, who go [only] to their own wife at the proper time and do not cling to others' wives — attain that destiny, my son."

The refrain 'tāṃ gatiṃ vraja putraka,' 'attain that destiny, my son,' turns the prayer into a tender litany. It is telling that the mother lists not martial virtues but quiet, domestic ones: compassion for the poor, generosity, hospitality to guests, marital fidelity. Through her love she wishes upon her son the fruits of all these paths at once. The repeated 'putraka,' 'my little son,' keeps the warmth of address even amid the height of the blessing. The verse teaches that a loved one's blessing embraces the whole fullness of a righteous life, and that in the very repetition of a tender name the prayer for a departed soul gains the strength of a mother's heart.
