Nulle séparation ne doit être établie entre ces grands êtres qui partagent un seul corps essentiel. Est ignorant celui qui, par des querelles d’exégèse, de causalité et de logique pointilleuse, s’efforce d’y forger des différences.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) [deduced]
Tirtha: Revā tīrtha-samūha (contextual)
Type: river
Scene: Sages or disputants attempt to split the unity of the great deities through logic; the teaching declares them one-bodied, urging non-division and harmony.
