Śakra–Namuci-saṃvāda: Śoka-nivāraṇa and Daiva-vicāra
Indra and Namuci on grief, composure, and inevitability
Devanagari script
इमां च यो वेद विमोक्षबुद्धि- मात्मानमन्विच्छति चाप्रमत्त: । न लिप्यते कर्मफलैरनिष्टै: पत्रं बिसस्येव जलेन सिक्तम्,जो इस मोक्षविद्याको जानता है और सावधानीके साथ आत्मतत्त्वका अनुसंधान करता है, वह जलसे कमलके पत्तेकी भाँति कर्मके अनिष्ट फलोंसे कभी लिप्त नहीं होता
Translation
Whoever knows this wisdom of liberation and, with a mind intent on release, seeks the Self without negligence, is not stained by the unwanted fruits of action—like a lotus leaf, though sprinkled with water, is not soaked.
