Shloka 13
यतिप्रायश्चित्तविधानम्
Ascetic Atonements and Discipline
Devanagari script
यदेतद्द्रविणं नाम प्राणा ह्येते बहिश्चराः स तस्य हरते प्राणान् यो यस्य हरते धनम्
Transliteration
yadetaddraviṇaṃ nāma prāṇā hyete bahiścarāḥ sa tasya harate prāṇān yo yasya harate dhanam
Translation
Was „Reichtum“ genannt wird, ist in Wahrheit das eigene prāṇa, der Lebenshauch, der nach außen in die Welt hinauswirkt. Darum gilt: Wer das Gut eines anderen stiehlt, stiehlt dessen prāṇa—er beraubt den paśu (die gebundene Seele) der Stützen, durch die das Leben getragen wird, und vertieft so das pāśa (Band), entgegen dem Gesetz des Pati, Śiva.
