एते त्रयोदशाकारा: पृथक् सत्यैकलक्षणा: । भजन्ते सत्यमेवेह बृंहयन्ते च भारत,ये पृथक्-पृथक् तेरह रूपोंमें बताये हुए धर्म एकमात्र सत्यको ही लक्षित करानेवाले हैं। ये सत्यका ही आश्रय लेते और उसीकी वृद्धि एवं पुष्टि करते हैं
Transliteration
ete trayodaśākārāḥ pṛthak satyaikalakṣaṇāḥ | bhajante satyam eveha bṛṃhayante ca bhārata ||
Translation
Bhīṣma sprach: „Diese dreizehn verschiedenen Formen (des Dharma) mögen getrennt beschrieben sein, doch tragen sie alle ein einziges Kennzeichen: die Wahrheit. In dieser Welt nehmen sie allein bei der Wahrheit Zuflucht, und, o Bharata, sie stärken und bekräftigen die Wahrheit selbst.“
