Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 10
नारद उवाच । समासात्तव वक्ष्यामि योगतत्त्वं कुरूद्वह । श्रवणादपि नैर्मल्यं यस्य स्यात्सेवनात्किमु
nārada uvāca | samāsāttava vakṣyāmi yogatattvaṃ kurūdvaha | śravaṇādapi nairmalyaṃ yasya syātsevanātkimu
Nārada sprach: „O Bester der Kurus, ich werde dir kurz die Wahrheit des Yoga darlegen. Wenn schon das bloße Hören Reinheit schenkt, was soll man erst von seiner Ausübung sagen?“
Nārada
Scene: Nārada reassures Arjuna that he will teach succinctly; the emphasis is on the sanctity of hearing and the greater power of lived practice.
