Dīkṣā-bhedaḥ (Types of Initiation) — Lalitopākhyāna: Hayagrīva–Agastya Dialogue
Devanagari script
नास्थि गुर्वधिकं तत्त्वं नास्ति ज्ञानाधिकं सुखम् / नास्ति भक्त्यधिका पूजा न हि मोक्षाधिकं फलम्
Transliteration
nāsthi gurvadhikaṃ tattvaṃ nāsti jñānādhikaṃ sukham / nāsti bhaktyadhikā pūjā na hi mokṣādhikaṃ phalam
Translation
গুরুর চেয়ে উচ্চতর কোনো তত্ত্ব নেই, জ্ঞানের চেয়ে বড় সুখ নেই। ভক্তির চেয়ে শ্রেষ্ঠ পূজা নেই, আর মোক্ষের চেয়ে বড় ফল নেই।
