Restraint through the Analysis of Karma and Time
Devanagari script
पन्नग! सूर्य, चन्द्रमा, जल, वायु, इन्द्र, अग्नि, आकाश, पृथ्वी, मित्र, पर्जन्य, वसु, अदिति, नदी, समुद्र तथा भाव और अभाव--ये सभी कालके द्वारा ही रचे जाते हैं और काल ही इनका संहार कर देता है ।।
Translation
“¡Oh serpiente! El Sol, la Luna, el agua, el viento, Indra, el fuego, el espacio, la tierra, Mitra, Parjanya, los Vasus, Aditi, los ríos, el océano, y el ser y el no-ser: todo ello es creado por el Tiempo, y el Tiempo mismo lo destruye. Sabiendo esto, ¿cómo puedes considerarme culpable, serpiente? Y si aun en tal estado puede imputárseme falta, entonces tú también eres culpable.”
