Śrī–Indra–Bali Saṃvāda: The Departure and Fourfold Placement of Lakṣmī
Devanagari script
यत्र यत्रानुमाने5स्मिन् कृतं भावयतो5डपि च | नान्यो जीव: शरीरस्य नास्तिकानां मते स्थित:,जहाँ-कहीं भी ईश्वर, अदृष्ट अथवा नित्य आत्माकी सिद्धिके लिये अनुमान किया जाता है, वहाँ साध्य-साधनके लिये की हुई भावना भी व्यर्थ है, अतः नास्तिकोंके मतमें जीवात्माकी शरीरसे भिन्न कोई सत्ता नहीं है--यह बात स्थिर हुई
Transliteration
yatra yatrānumāne ’smin kṛtaṃ bhāvayato ’pi ca | nānyo jīvaḥ śarīrasya nāstikānāṃ mate sthitaḥ ||
Translation
قال بهيشما: حيثما يُحاوَل في هذا المسلك من الاستدلال إثباتُ الإله، أو غير المرئي (adṛṣṭa)، أو ذاتٍ أزلية بالقياس، فإن حتى التصوير الذهني للوسائل والغايات يغدو عبثًا. لذلك يُقضى في مذهب غير المؤمنين قضاءً مستقرًّا بأنه لا توجد نفسٌ حية مغايرة للجسد.
