Scriptural testimony are the ''Vedas'' or other scripts which agree with the ''Vedas'', other scripts do not oppose the theories of ''Vedas'' rather support them. They are composed by the help of four fold examinations, enunciated by the experts, approved by the trustworthy persons and having the capability of bringing happiness to the world. These scriptural sources of knowledge are the words of the authorities. This goal of scriptures can be fulfilled by donation, penance, performing rituals (offerings to sacred fire), truthfulness, nonviolence and ''bramacharya'' (control of senses/ celibecy) by doing these one's upliftment and liberation is possible.

The people who follow the path of ''dharma'' (eternal duty), they are devoid of fear, attachment, hatred, greed, confusion, vanity and all their mental defects are vanished, they have great knowledge. Their mind and intellect are functioning forever, such ancient and most ancient sages with their divine sight after careful observation has enunciated the theory of rebirth. Everyone should think over this and there should be no doubt. [29]

Observation proves theory of rebirth: To establish the theory of rebirth observation may be helpful, for example dissimilar children born to their parents, parents may be same but their children differ in various manners like complexion, voice, structure, mind, intellect and fate. Birth in high class or lower class, slavery or lordship, happy or miserable life, difference in lifespan, getting different result of the deeds done in this life, without any training actions like crying, sucking breast, laughing, fear etc. (in new born), appearance of signs over body indicating good or bad fortune, actions being the same results are different, preservation of memory sometimes memory loss, memory of previous life in some persons, appearance being the same but some have liking some have disliking for the same things, all these prove the theory of rebirth.

Inference supporting rebirth theory: Inference can be drawn that the action done in previous life is unavoidable, eternal and have continuity is known as fate. The results of which are enjoyable in this life and the actions done in this life will bring its results in next life. As seed comes from fruit and fruit from seed, this process is going on forever.

Reasoning supporting rebirth: the ''garbha'' (embryo) is formed by the combination of six ''dhatus'' (''pancha mahabhutas'' and ''atman''). Doer and the instrument when do come together results in manifestation of action. The results which we get are because of the actions done, no results if no action done. The germination occurs because of seed, the result always corresponds to the action, and seed cannot bring out heterogeneous product. This is reasoning. [32]

All the four means of knowledge (scriptures, observation, inference & reasoning) help in establishing the rebirth theory, one should concentrate mind on the path of eternal duty. Paths are to give service to the preachers/teachers/elders, studies, performing spiritual acts, marriage, producing children, maintenance of servants, giving respect to the guests, giving donations, no greed for others money, penance, avoid jealousy, performing acts which do not affect physical, verbally and mind, introspection of body, sensual faculties, mind, intellect and self and meditation are included. Similar acts recommended by virtuous persons which are conducive for doing well in life, and attainment of heaven after death, means of livelihood should be done. By doing such acts one gains fame and attains heaven after death. Thus, the third basic desire is explained. [33]
