Īśvara-gītā: The Supreme Lord as Brahman, the Source of Creation, and the Inner Self
यो मामेवं विजानाति बीजिनं पितरं प्रभुम् / स धीरः सर्वलोकेषु न मोहमधिगच्छति
yo māmevaṃ vijānāti bījinaṃ pitaraṃ prabhum / sa dhīraḥ sarvalokeṣu na mohamadhigacchati
Siapa yang mengenal-Ku demikian sebagai sumber pembawa benih, Bapa, dan Tuhan Yang Mahakuasa—ia yang teguh, di semua loka, tidak jatuh ke dalam delusi.
