Adhyaya 48 — The Emanation of Beings from Brahma: Night, Day, Twilight, and the Orders of Creation
हिंस्त्राहिंस्त्रे मृदुक्रूरे धर्माधर्मावृतानृते ।
तद्भाविताः प्रपद्यन्ते तस्मात्तत्तस्य रोचते ॥
hiṃstrāhiṃstre mṛdu-krūre dharmādharmāvṛtānṛte | tad-bhāvitāḥ prapadyante tasmāt tat tasya rocate ||
نحو العنف واللاعنف، واللطف والقسوة، والدارما والأدارما، والصدق والكذب—تمضي الكائنات كما شُكِّلت بتلك الأحوال؛ ولذلك تصبح تلك النزعة بعينها مُرضيةً لكل واحد.
