मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
अहिंसानिरतो नित्यं जुह्नमानो जातवेदसम् | षड्भिरेव स वर्षैस्तु सिध्यते नाज संशय:
ahiṃsā-nirato nityaṃ juhvamāno jātavedasam | ṣaḍbhir eva sa varṣais tu sidhyate nātra saṃśayaḥ ||
যি নিত্য অহিংসাত ৰত হৈ জাতবেদস (অগ্নি)-ত আহুতি দিয়ে, সি ছয় বছৰৰ ভিতৰতে সিদ্ধি লাভ কৰে—ইয়াত সন্দেহ নাই।
भीष्म उवाच
Ethical restraint—especially steadfast non-violence—combined with consistent sacred duty (daily fire-offering) is presented as a powerful, reliable path to spiritual accomplishment (siddhi).
Bhishma, in his instruction on dharma, describes a disciplined practitioner devoted to ahiṃsā and daily offerings into the sacred fire, asserting that such a person attains siddhi within six years without doubt.
