Śreyas-nirdeśa (Discerning the Superior Good): Nārada–Gālava Saṃvāda
वाड्मन:कर्मयज्ञश्व भविष्याम्युदगायने । सूर्यके उत्तरायण होनेपर शान्तिमय यज्ञमें तत्पर, जितेन्द्रिय, ब्रह्मयज्ञपरायण एवं मननशील होकर मैं जप-स्वाध्यायरूप वाग्यज्ञ, ध्यानरूप मनोयज्ञ और शास्त्रविहित कर्मोंका निष्कामभावसे आचरणरूप कर्मयज्ञका अनुष्ठान करूँगा
When the sun turns to Uttarāyaṇa (its northward course), I shall devote myself to the peaceful sacrifice: self-controlled, intent on the Brahma-sacrifice, and given to contemplation. I will perform the three sacrifices—Vāk-yajña, the sacrifice of speech, as japa and svādhyāya (recitation and sacred study); Mano-yajña, the sacrifice of mind, as meditation; and Karma-yajña, the sacrifice of action, as the selfless performance of scripturally enjoined deeds, without desire for their fruits.
