Dīkṣā-bhedaḥ (Types of Initiation) — Lalitopākhyāna: Hayagrīva–Agastya Dialogue
Devanagari script
नास्थि गुर्वधिकं तत्त्वं नास्ति ज्ञानाधिकं सुखम् / नास्ति भक्त्यधिका पूजा न हि मोक्षाधिकं फलम्
Transliteration
nāsthi gurvadhikaṃ tattvaṃ nāsti jñānādhikaṃ sukham / nāsti bhaktyadhikā pūjā na hi mokṣādhikaṃ phalam
Translation
Il n’est point de vérité plus haute que le Guru; il n’est point de bonheur plus grand que la connaissance. Il n’est point de culte supérieur à la bhakti; et nul fruit n’égale la moksha, la délivrance.
