Adhyāya 284: Tapas as a Corrective to Household Attachment
Parāśara’s Instruction
Devanagari script
गजेन्द्रकर्ण गोकर्ण पाणिकर्ण नमोस्तु ते । आपके कान भी सब ओरे हैं। संसारमें जो कुछ है
Translation
„Ehrerbietung dir, Gajendrakārṇa, Gokārṇa, Pāṇikārṇa! Deine Ohren sind nach allen Seiten; alles, was in der Welt ist, durchdringst du und stehst allumfassend da. Śaṅkukārṇa, Mahākārṇa, Kumbhakārṇa, Argavālaya, Gajendrakārṇa, Gokārṇa und Pāṇikārṇa — diese sieben Gefährten sind deine eigenen Gestalten. In all diesen Formen verneige ich mich vor dir.“
