वेदाचारविधानोक्तैर्यज्ञैर्धार्यन्ति देवताः। ॥ ३.१५२.२० ॥
Had I slain that Rāvaṇa, thorn of the world, Rāghava's fame would have perished; therefore this was left undone. By sacrifices prescribed in the rules of Vedic conduct, the gods are sustained.

3.152.24
न च ते तरसा कार्यः कुसुमापचयः स्वयम् ।
दैवतानि हि मान्यानि पुरुषेण विशेषतः ॥ ३.१५२.२४ ॥
Nor should you forcibly pluck the flowers yourself, for the things belonging to the gods are to be honored, especially by a man.

वेदैर्यज्ञाः समुत्पन्ना यज्ञैर्देवाः प्रतिष्ठिताः ॥ ३.१५२.२९ ॥
Dharma arises from conduct; from dharma the Vedas have arisen; through the Vedas sacrifices have come forth; through sacrifices the gods are established.

बृहस्पत्युशनःप्रोक्तैर्नयैर्धार्यन्ति मानवाः ॥ ३.१५२.३० ॥
People are sustained by the policies taught by Bṛhaspati and Uśanas.

दण्डनीतिमृतेचापि निर्मर्यादमिदं भवेत् ॥ ३.१५२.३३ ॥

सुप्रवृत्तैस्त्रिभिर्ह्येतैर्धर्मैः सूयन्ति वै प्रजाः ॥ ३.१५२.३४ ॥
