Devanagari script
साधूनां विनिवृत्तिश् च वेद्या तस्मिन्युगक्षये तदा सूक्ष्मो महोदर्को दुर्लभो दानमूलवान्
Transliteration
sādhūnāṃ vinivṛttiś ca vedyā tasminyugakṣaye tadā sūkṣmo mahodarko durlabho dānamūlavān
Translation
ユガの終末（yuga-kṣaya）においては、サードゥたちが世事から退くことを知るべきである。その時、微細でありながら大いに照らす識別が起こる—まことに稀で—聖なる施しダーナ（dāna）を根として、パシュ（paśu）がパーシャ（pāśa）の束縛を離れ、主宰パティ（Pati）たるシヴァへと向かうのを支える。
