Śama-prāptiḥ — Gautamī–Lubdhaka–Pannaga–Mṛtyu–Kāla-saṃvāda

Restraint through the Analysis of Karma and Time

Devanagari script

एवं सति न दोषो मे नास्मि वध्यो न किल्बिषी । किल्विषं समवाये स्यान्मन्यसे यदि किल्बिषम्‌,ऐसी दशामें न तो मेरा कोई दोष है और न मैं वध्य अथवा अपराधी ही हूँ। यदि तुम किसीका अपराध समझते हो तो वह सारे कारणोंके समूहपर ही लागू होता है

Transliteration

evaṃ sati na doṣo me nāsmi vadhyo na kilbiṣī | kilviṣaṃ samavāye syān manyase yadi kilbiṣam ||

Translation

“If this is the case, then I bear no fault; I am neither to be slain nor am I a sinner. If you still regard there to be sin here, then that sin would belong to the entire complex of contributing causes.”
