Transliteration
atra te vartayiṣyāmi dharmam arthaviniścayam | nirmadī vartamāne dānavākarṇave purā ||
Translation
এখন আমি তোমাকে এক ধর্মময় আখ্যান বলব, যা অর্থ—ব্যবহারিক মঙ্গল ও কল্যাণ—এর প্রকৃত সিদ্ধান্ত স্থির করে। প্রাচীন কালে, যখন এই জগৎ দানবসুলভ উচ্ছৃঙ্খলতার সাগরে নিমজ্জিত হয়ে সীমাহীন হয়ে উঠেছিল, তখনই এই উপদেশ প্রকাশিত হয়।
