Parāśara’s Counsel on बुद्धि (Discernment), Karma-Consequences, and Avoidance of Pāpānubandha Actions
महत्त्वं योगिनां चैव महामायत्वमेव च । महाबलत्वं च तथा तेजश्चाग्र्यं सुरेश्वर,सुरेन्द्र! उन्होंने इसे योगियोंकी महिमा, महा-मायावीपन, महान् बल-पराक्रम तथा सर्वश्रेष्ठ तेज प्रदान किया है
mahattvaṃ yogināṃ caiva mahāmāyatvam eva ca | mahābalatvaṃ ca tathā tejaś cāgryaṃ sureśvara, surendra |
ພຣະມະເຫສະວະຣະກ່າວວ່າ: «ໂອ ຈອມເທວະ, ໂອ ອິນທຣະ! ເຂົາໄດ້ຮັບປະທານມະຫິມາຂອງຜູ້ປະຕິບັດໂຍຄະ, ອຳນາດແຫ່ງມະຫາມາຍາ, ພະລັງແລະວິລະກຳອັນຍິ່ງໃຫຍ່, ແລະລັດສະມີຕະເຈະອັນສູງສຸດ»។
