Pratīpa and Gaṅgā; Śaṃtanu’s marriage condition
Devanagari script
आस्येन तु यदाहारं गोवन्मृगयते मुनि: । अथास्य लोक: सर्वो5यं सो5मृतत्वाय कल्पते,जब संन्यासी मुनि गाय-बैलोंकी तरह मुखसे ही आहार ग्रहण करता है, हाथ आदिका भी सहारा नहीं लेता, तब उसके द्वारा ये सब लोक जीत लिये गये समझे जाते हैं और वह मोक्षकी प्राप्तिके लिये समर्थ समझा जाता है
Translation
وإذا كان المونيّ الزاهد (السَّنْياسِن) يبتغي طعامه ويتناوله بفمه وحده، كالبقرة أو الثور الوحشي، من غير أن يستعين بيدٍ أو بغيرها، عُدَّت هذه العوالم كلّها كأنما قد غلبها، ورُئي أهلاً لبلوغ الخلود (الموكشا).
