Purūravā’s Song of Renunciation and the Glory of Sādhu-saṅga
श्रीभगवानुवाच एवं प्रगायन् नृपदेवदेव: स उर्वशीलोकमथो विहाय । आत्मानमात्मन्यवगम्य मां वै उपारमज्ज्ञानविधूतमोह: ॥ २५ ॥

Der Höchste Herr sprach: Nachdem er so dieses Lied gesungen hatte, gab Mahārāja Purūravā, hervorragend unter Göttern und Menschen, die Stellung auf, die er auf dem Planeten Urvaśī erlangt hatte. Durch transzendentales Wissen von Täuschung gereinigt, erkannte er Mich als Paramātmā in seinem Herzen und erlangte schließlich Frieden.
