Devanagari script

योगे सांख्ये च नियता ये च धर्मा: सनातना: । चातुर्वर्ण्यस्य यश्नोक्तो धर्मो न सम विरुध्यते

Transliteration

yoge sāṅkhye ca niyatā ye ca dharmāḥ sanātanāḥ | cāturvarṇyasya yaś cokto dharmo na samavirudhyate ||

Translation

ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「ヨーガとサーンキヤに定められた永遠の務め、そして四つのヴァルナのために説かれた務め——これらは互いに相反しない。正しく理解されるなら、内なる覚知の修行と、社会的・倫理的生活の義務とは、矛盾なく共に成り立つのである。」
