Kapila–Cow Dialogue: Authority of Householder and Renunciant Dharmas
यदा न स चलत्येव स्थाणुभूतो महातपा: । ततस्तौ सुखविश्व॒स्तौ सुखं तत्रोषतुस्तदा
bhīṣma uvāca | yadā na sa calatyeva sthāṇubhūto mahātapāḥ | tatastau sukhaviśvastau sukhaṃ tatroṣatustadā ||
যেতিয়া সেই মহাতপস্বী গছৰ গুঁড়িৰ দৰে হৈ একেবাৰে নচলিল, তেতিয়া সম্পূৰ্ণ বিশ্বাস জন্মি উঠাত সেই দুটা পখী তাতে সুখেৰে বাস কৰিবলৈ ধৰিলে।
