Janaka–Sulabhā Dialogue on Mokṣa and Non-attachment

Devanagari script

नावेदनिष्ठस्थ जनस्य राजन्‌ प्रदेयमेतत्‌ परमं त्वया भवेत्‌ | विधित्समानाय विबोधकारण प्रबोधहेतो: प्रणतस्य शासनम्‌

Transliteration

na veda-niṣṭhasya janasya rājan pradeyam etat paramaṃ tvayā bhavet | vidhitsamānāya vibodha-kāraṇa prabodha-hetoḥ praṇatasya śāsanam ||

Translation

વસિષ્ઠે કહ્યું—હે રાજન, જે મનુષ્ય વેદમાં શ્રદ્ધાથી સ્થિર નથી, તેને આ પરમ ઉપદેશ તારે આપવો નહીં. જે બોધ માટે તરસે છે, સમજ માટે આતુર છે અને વિનયપૂર્વક શરણમાં આવ્યો છે—એને જ પ્રબોધના હેતુથી આ શિક્ષા આપવી.
