Shiva Purana — Vayaviya Samhita, Shloka 33
सर्वेश्वर-परमकारण-निरूपणम् / The Supreme Lord as the Uncaused Cause
साम्यात्प्रसादसंपर्को धर्मस्यातिशयस्ततः । धर्मातिशयमासाद्य पशोः पापपरिक्षयः
sāmyātprasādasaṃparko dharmasyātiśayastataḥ | dharmātiśayamāsādya paśoḥ pāpaparikṣayaḥ
من الاتزان الباطني ينشأ الاتصال بالنعمة الإلهية؛ ومنه يشتدّ الدارما ويتعاظم. فإذا نال المرء هذا الدارما المتسامِي، فإن «البَشو»—الروح المقيّدة—تذوق فناء خطاياها فناءً تامًّا.
