ब्रह्मोपदेशमेकत्र वेदशास्त्राण्यथैकतः / आचार्यः स तु विज्ञेयस्तदेकैकास्तु देशिकाः

Transliteration

brahmopadeśamekatra vedaśāstrāṇyathaikataḥ / ācāryaḥ sa tu vijñeyastadekaikāstu deśikāḥ

Translation

La instrucción sobre Brahman está por un lado, y los Vedas y los śāstras por otro: aquel que enseña ambos como una sola unidad debe ser conocido como Ācārya; quienes enseñan solo uno u otro son Deśika.
