The Wheel of Time and the Norms of the Āśramas
यः कश्षिदिह लोके5स्मिन्नागम: परिकीर्तित: । तस्यान्तगमन श्रेय: कीर्तिरेषा सनातनी
yaḥ kaścid iha loke 'sminn āgamaḥ parikīrtitaḥ | tasyāntagamana-śreyaḥ kīrtir eṣā sanātanī ||
Dijo Vāyu: «Cualquiera que sea la enseñanza autorizada (āgama) proclamada en este mundo—la que establece lo que debe hacerse y lo que debe evitarse—dominarla es un bien supremo para los gṛhastha, los dos veces nacidos. De tal comprensión disciplinada nace una fama perdurable, tenida por intemporal.»
