Verse 107 (14.106.107)

पर्वद्वये चतुर्दश्यामष्टम्यां संध्ययोर्द्वयोः । आर्द्रायां जन्मनक्षत्रे विषुवे श्रवणेऽथवा । ये ग्राम्यधर्मविरतास्ते नराः स्वर्गगामिनः ॥

parvadvaye caturdaśyāmaṣṭamyāṃ saṃdhyayordvayoḥ | ārdrāyāṃ janmanakṣatre viṣuve śravaṇe'thavā | ye grāmyadharmaviratāste narāḥ svargagāminaḥ

Those who abstain from sexual union on both parvas, on the fourteenth and the eighth lunar days, at both twilights, under the Ardra star, under their birth-star, at the equinox, or under Shravana — those men go to heaven.

Note on the text: Not in the critical text: Appendix I, No. 4 (printed in the CE file after 14.96.15 as 14,096.015d@004), lines 2129–2131. Corrected स्वर्गगाप्तिनः → स्वर्गगामिनः (misprint in Wikisource; प्ति for मि; the critical edition reads svargagāminaḥ).

Verse 108 (14.106.108)

हव्यकव्यविधानं च नरकस्वर्गगामिनौ । धर्माधर्मौ च कथितौ किं भूयः श्रोतुमिच्छसि ॥

havyakavyavidhānaṃ ca narakasvargagāminau | dharmādharmau ca kathitau kiṃ bhūyaḥ śrotumicchasi

The rule of offerings to the gods and the ancestors, those who go to hell and those who go to heaven, dharma and adharma — all have been told. What more do you wish to hear?

Note on the text: Not in the critical text: Appendix I, No. 4 (printed in the CE file after 14.96.15 as 14,096.015d@004), lines 2132–2133. The CE appendix prints a "Yudhishthira uvāca" heading inside this verse (before 14,096.015d@004_2133, line 2); the page prints no heading, so the verse stays whole with Vasudeva.
