Dvaipāyana–Kīṭa Saṃvāda: Karmic Memory, Fear of Death, and Embodied Pleasure
Devanagari script
कर्मणा लिप्यते जन्तुर्वाचा च मनसापि च
Translation
Makhluk hidup ternoda oleh cela kekerasan melalui pikiran, ucapan, dan perbuatan; namun siapa yang bertahap—lebih dahulu dalam batin, kemudian dalam kata, dan akhirnya dalam tindakan—meninggalkan kekerasan dan tidak pernah memakan daging, ia pun terbebas dari noda kekerasan yang tiga macam itu.
