Brahmā’s Instruction on Elements and Faculties
विमुक्त: सर्वपापेभ्य इति चैव निबोधत । द्विजवरो! जो मनुष्य इस विषयको विधिपूर्वक जानता है, वह योगी होता है तथा उसे सब पापोंसे छुटकारा मिल जाता है। इसे भलीभाँति समझो
vimuktaḥ sarvapāpebhya iti caiva nibodhata | dvijavara! yo manuṣyaḥ asmin viṣaye vidhipūrvakaṃ jānāti, sa yogī bhavati tathā ca tasya sarvapāpebhyaḥ pramokṣo bhavati | etad bhṛśaṃ nibodhata |
Vāyu sprach: „Erkennt dies wohl: Man wird von allen Sünden befreit. O Bester der Zweimalgeborenen, wer diese Sache in der rechten, vorgeschriebenen Weise versteht, wird ein Yogin und erlangt dadurch die Loslösung von jeder Sünde. Begreift es klar.“
