Devanagari script

तस्माद् योगं प्रशंसन्ति धर्मयुक्ता मनीषिणः अविद्यां विद्यया जित्वा प्राप्यैश्वर्यमनुत्तमम्

Transliteration

tasmād yogaṃ praśaṃsanti dharmayuktā manīṣiṇaḥ avidyāṃ vidyayā jitvā prāpyaiśvaryamanuttamam

Translation

C’est pourquoi les sages, établis dans le dharma, louent le Yoga ; car, ayant vaincu l’ignorance (avidyā) par la vraie connaissance (vidyā), le paśu obtient l’aiśvarya incomparable—la souveraineté accordée par Pati, le Seigneur suprême, et qui s’achève en la délivrance.
