अध्याय 91: अरिष्ट-लक्षण, मृत्यु-संस्कार, पाशुपत-धारणा तथा ओङ्कार-उपासना

Devanagari script

एषां चैव विशेषेण ऐश्वर्ये ह्यष्टलक्षणे अणिमाद्ये तु विज्ञेया तस्माद्युञ्जीत तां द्विजाः

Transliteration

eṣāṃ caiva viśeṣeṇa aiśvarye hyaṣṭalakṣaṇe aṇimādye tu vijñeyā tasmādyuñjīta tāṃ dvijāḥ

Translation

ومن بين هذه الأمور، على وجه الخصوص، ينبغي إدراك العلامات الثماني للسلطان الإلهي (aiśvarya)—ابتداءً من «أَنِما» (aṇimā) وسائرها. لذلك، يا ذوي الولادتين (dvija)، لْيُقْرِنِ المرءُ نفسَه بتلك الرياضة، فإنها تقود إلى التمكّن بيوغا تحت سيادة البَتي (Pati).
