संसारदर्शनं चैव मानसं गुणलक्षणम् छेदनं ताडनं बन्धं संसारपरिवर्तनम्

Transliteration

saṃsāradarśanaṃ caiva mānasaṃ guṇalakṣaṇam chedanaṃ tāḍanaṃ bandhaṃ saṃsāraparivartanam

Translation

Dies ist die Wahrnehmung des Saṃsāra selbst—ein innerer (geistiger) Zustand, gekennzeichnet durch die Guṇas—der als „Schneiden“, „Schlagen“ und „Binden“ erscheint und so als das wiederholte Sich-Wenden der Seele durch das weltliche Dasein.
