The Glory of Gokarṇa: Description of Nandikeśvara’s Boon and the Assembly of Deities on Mount Muñjavat
सर्वे यज्ञाः सर्वविद्या वेदाश्चत्वार एव च ॥ धर्मः सत्यं दमः स्वर्गः कपिलश्च महानृषिः
sarve yajñāḥ sarvavidyā vedāś catvāra eva ca || dharmaḥ satyaṃ damaḥ svargaḥ kapilaś ca mahānṛṣiḥ
वहाँ सब यज्ञ थे, सब विद्या थी, चारों वेद थे। धरम था, सच्चाई थी, अपने आप को कंट्रोल करना था, स्वर्ग था। और कपिल नाम का बड़ा रिशि भी वहाँ था।
