नारद–शुक संवादः (Nārada–Śuka Dialogue): Tyāga, Saṃyama, and Vyakta–Avyakta Viveka
एवं हि परिसंख्याय ततो ध्यायन्ति केवलम् । विरजस्कमलं नित्यमनन्तं शुद्धमव्रणम्
evaṁ hi parisaṅkhyāya tato dhyāyanti kevalam | virajaskamalaṁ nityam anantaṁ śuddham avraṇam ||
Demikianlah, setelah menghitung dan membedakan dengan saksama, mereka lalu bermeditasi semata-mata pada Hakikat itu: senantiasa hadir, laksana teratai tak tersentuh debu; tanpa akhir, sepenuhnya suci, tanpa cela.
