The Dialogue between Rukmāṅgada and Dharmāṅgada
ममत्वं हि परित्यज्य स्वजातिविहितेन च । येन वो ह्यक्षया लोका भवेयुर्नात्र संशयः ॥ ३२ ॥
mamatvaṃ hi parityajya svajātivihitena ca | yena vo hyakṣayā lokā bhaveyurnātra saṃśayaḥ || 32 ||
اتركوا شعور التملّك، إحساس «هذا لي»، واعملوا وفق الواجبات المقرّرة لمقامكم؛ فبذلك تكون العوالم التي تنالونها غير فانية—ولا شكّ في ذلك.
