ગુજરાતીમાથ્થી ૨૩:૨૦
એ માટે જે કોઈ યજ્ઞવેદીના સમ ખાય છે, તે તેના તથા જે બધું તેના પર છે તેના પણ સમ ખાય છે.
हिन्दीमत्ती २३:२०
इसलिए जो वेदी की शपथ खाता है, वह उसकी, और जो कुछ उस पर है, उसकी भी शपथ खाता है।

In context

18And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’

19You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

20He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.

21He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.

22He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
