अध्येष्यामि हरेर्ज्ञानं संसारविनिवर्तनम् । एवं संचिंतयन्नास्ते मोक्षोपायं विचिन्तयन्
adhyeṣyāmi harerjñānaṃ saṃsāravinivartanam | evaṃ saṃciṃtayannāste mokṣopāyaṃ vicintayan
«J’étudierai la connaissance salvatrice de Hari, celle qui détourne du saṃsāra.» Ainsi pensant, il demeure recueilli, méditant les moyens de la délivrance.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Scene: A contemplative seeker seated in solitude, holding a palm-leaf manuscript, inwardly absorbed in the liberating knowledge of Hari; the world’s bustle fades behind him as he reflects on mokṣa-upāya.
