Shloka 12

Arjuna’s request to Krishna and the opening of the Kāśyapa–Brāhmaṇa mokṣa discourse (Āśvamedhika-parva 16)

Devanagari script

स हि धर्म: सुपर्याप्तो ब्रह्मण: पदवेदने । न शक्‍यं तन्‍्मया भूयस्तथा वक्तुमशेषत:,क्योंकि वह धर्म ब्रह्मपदकी प्राप्ति करानेके लिये पर्याप्त था, वह सारा-का-सारा धर्म उसी रूपमें फिर दुहरा देना अब मेरे वशकी बात भी नहीं है

Transliteration

sa hi dharmaḥ suparyāpto brahmaṇaḥ padavedane | na śakyaṃ tanmayā bhūyas tathā vaktum aśeṣataḥ ||

Translation

ആ ധർമ്മോപദേശം ബ്രഹ്മപദത്തിന്റെ സാക്ഷാത്കാരത്തിന് പൂർണ്ണമായി മതിയായിരുന്നു. എങ്കിലും അതിനെ അതേവിധം, ഒന്നും വിട്ടുപോകാതെ, വീണ്ടും സമ്പൂർണ്ണമായി പറയുക ഇനി എന്റെ കഴിവിൽ ഇല്ല.
