Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 56
Śokanivāraṇa: Non-brooding, Impermanence, Contentment, and Śuka’s Renunciation
प्राप्नुवंति ततः पंच न भवंति शतायुषः । नाभ्युत्थाने मनुष्याणां योगाः स्युर्नात्र संशयः ॥ ५६ ॥
prāpnuvaṃti tataḥ paṃca na bhavaṃti śatāyuṣaḥ | nābhyutthāne manuṣyāṇāṃ yogāḥ syurnātra saṃśayaḥ || 56 ||
そのように霊的精進を欠けば、得られるのはただ五（年）にすぎず、百年の長寿とはならない。人に真摯な奮起と規律ある努力がなければ、ヨーガの成就は生じない—これに疑いはない。
