And it is well-known in the treatise on Dharma:

The giver of land enjoys sixty thousand years in heaven; the one who challenges a donation as well as the one who approves of the challenge will reside as many years in hell. This verse corresponds to the verse numbered 123 among the Stanzas on Bhūmidāna listed by Sircar see II170-200.

The one who would steal land given by himself or another becomes a worm in excrement and is cooked with his ancestors. This verse corresponds to the verse numbered 132 among the Stanzas on Bhūmidāna listed by Sircar see II170-200.

You, Yudhiṣṭhira, most excellent of kings, must strenuously protect land previously given to brahmins. Safeguarding is even better than giving. This verse corresponds to the verse numbered 131 among the Stanzas on Bhūmidāna listed by Sircar see II170-200.

Land has been given by several kings beginning with Sagara. Whoever holds land at a given time, to him does the fruit belong. This verse corresponds to the verse numbered 23 among the Stanzas on Bhūmidāna listed by Sircar see II170-200.

The Fathers are agitating and the Grand-Fathers are bounding when they can say A giver of land is born within our lineage, sure, he will deliver us !. This verse corresponds to the verse numbered 20 among the Stanzas on Bhūmidāna listed by Sircar see II170-200, except for the final verb in the pāda d.

The Ādityas, the Vasus, the Rudras, Soma, Viṣṇu, Hutāśana Agni and the lord Daṇḍapāṇi Yama approve a giver of land. This verse is almost the same as the verse numbered 20 among the Stanzas on Bhūmidāna listed by Sircar see II170-200.

If a virtuous wife with qualities makes a gift to someone whose blood is well-known and the one who applies it, by this perception, I purify both hundred times. The text of this verse is very uncertain and I didn't find any occurrence of it. So here it is just an attempt of translation which needs to be improved.

The man who have committed sins since his first birth and for the next thousand births, is purified by a gift of land, even measuring the size of a gocarman literally a cow's skin, here it is a unit of measurement. This verse corresponds to the verse numbered 159 among the Stanzas on Bhūmidāna listed by Sircar see II170-200m except for the two first pādas.

Where a triad of one bull, one hundred of milk cows with their calves firmly stands, this is called a gocarman. The translation is based on the meaning given by 364, which seems to be found on the . For the moment, I didn't find any occurrence of this verse.
