Devanagari script
यथान्धकारे खद्योतं लीयमानं ततस्ततः । चक्षुष्मन्त: प्रपश्यन्ति तथा च ज्ञानचक्षुष:,जिस तरह आँखवाले मनुष्य अँधेरेमें इधर-उधर उगते-बुझते हुए खद्योतको देखते हैं, उसी प्रकार ज्ञान-नेत्रवाले सिद्ध पुरुष अपनी दिव्य दृष्टिसे जन्मते, मरते तथा गर्भमें प्रवेश करते हुए जीवको सदा देखते रहते हैं

Translation
闇の中で、目ある者が蛍の光を見て、ここに現れてはあちらに消えるのを捉えるように、智慧の眼を具えた成就者たちは、神妙なる視座によって、ジーヴァが生まれ、死に、そして再び胎内へ入るさまを、つねに見続けている。
