पृच्छतस्ते मया तात श्रेय एतदुदाह्तम् । न हि शव्यं प्रधानेन श्रेय: संख्यातुमात्मन:,तात! मैंने तुम्हारे प्रश्नके अनुसार यह श्रेयोमार्गका वर्णन किया है। पूर्णतया तो आत्मकल्याणकी परिगणना हो ही नहीं सकती
Transliteration
pṛcchatas te mayā tāta śreya etad udāhṛtam | na hi śakyaṃ pradhānena śreyaḥ saṅkhyātum ātmanaḥ ||
Translation
Dijo Nārada: «Hijo querido, conforme a tu pregunta he expuesto este sendero del bien supremo. Pues la verdadera medida de lo que, en último término, es beneficioso para el ser no puede calcularse por completo ni enumerarse hasta el fin.»
