प्रलोभितो वरैर्यत्त्वमप्रमादाय विद्धि तत् । न धीरेकान्तभक्तानामाशीर्भिर्भिद्यते क्वचित् ॥ ५९ ॥
pralobhito varair yat tvam apramādāya viddhi tat na dhīr ekānta-bhaktānām āśīrbhir bhidyate kvacit
Verstehe, dass Ich dich mit Segnungen nur lockte, um deine Unachtsamkeitlosigkeit zu zeigen. Die standhafte Einsicht Meiner ausschließlichen Geweihten wird niemals durch materielle Gaben abgelenkt.
