संधेयासंधेय-पुरुषनिर्णयः (Criteria for Allies and Non-Allies) — with the opening of the Gautama narrative
Devanagari script
इन्द्रियाणीह रक्षन्ति स्वर्गधर्माभिगुप्तये । तस्मादर्थे च धर्मे च तपो नानशनात् परम्,इस संसारमें धार्मिक पुरुष स्वर्गके साधनभूत धर्मकी रक्षाके लिये इन्द्रियोंको सुरक्षित (संयमशील बनाये) रखते हैं। परंतु धर्म और अर्थ दोनोंकी सिद्धिके लिये तप ही श्रेष्ठ साधन है और उपवाससे बढ़कर कोई तपस्या नहीं है
