कपिलगोसंवादे गृहस्थ-त्यागधर्मयोः प्रमाण्यविचारः
Kapila–Cow Dialogue: Authority of Householder and Renunciant Dharmas
किसी समय माता-पिता उनको छोड़कर उड़ गये। अब वे बच्चे कभी आकर फिर चले जाते और जाकर फिर चले आते थे, इस प्रकार वे सदा आने-जाने लगे। उस समयतक जाजलि मुनि हिले-डुले नहीं ।।
tathā te divasaṃ cāpi gatvā sāyaṃ punar nṛpa | upāvartanta tatraiva nivāsārthaṃ śakuntakāḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「王よ、その小鳥たちは日中は餌を求めて飛び立ち、夕べになると同じ場所へ戻ってねぐらとした。こうして往来は一定の律となったが、聖仙ジャージャリはなお不動であった——耐え、見守り、生命の自然な流れを乱さずに進ませたのだ。」
