अत्र ते कथयिष्यामि तदिहैकमना: शृणु । यथेहामुत्र च नर: सुखदुःखमुपाश्चुते,मनुष्य इहलोक या परलोकमें जिस प्रकार सुख और दुःख भोगता है, इसके विषयमें तुम्हें अपना विचार बताऊँगा। तुम एकाग्रचित्त होकर सुनो
atra te kathayiṣyāmi tad ihaikamanāḥ śṛṇu | yathehāmutra ca naraḥ sukhaduḥkham upāśnute ||
«Aquí te lo explicaré: escucha con la mente unificada y atenta. Te diré cómo el hombre, tanto en este mundo como en el venidero, llega a experimentar placer y dolor—cómo encuentra esos frutos como resultado de su conducta».
