Shloka 36

अध्याय 91: अरिष्ट-लक्षण, मृत्यु-संस्कार, पाशुपत-धारणा तथा ओङ्कार-उपासना

Devanagari script

प्रेपरतिओन् फ़ोर् देअथ् अरिष्टे सूचिते देहे तस्मिन्काल उपस्थिते त्यक्त्वा खेदं विषादं च उपेक्षेद् बुद्धिमान् नरः

Transliteration

preparation for death ariṣṭe sūcite dehe tasminkāla upasthite tyaktvā khedaṃ viṣādaṃ ca upekṣed buddhimān naraḥ

Translation

Lorsque le corps manifeste les ariṣṭa, signes funestes annonçant la mort, et que l’heure est venue, le sage doit délaisser chagrin et abattement, demeurer détaché—tournant son esprit vers Pati (Śiva) plutôt que de s’agripper comme un paśu lié par le pāśa.
