Varaha Purana 210.32: Adhyaya 210, Shloka 32
Inquiry into Moral Agency (Karma) and Practical Means for the Dissolution of Sin: the Śiśumāra Contemplation
निराशः सर्वतस्तिष्ठेदिष्टार्थेषु न लोलुपः ॥ परीतात्मा त्यजेत्प्राणान्सर्वपापात्प्रमुच्यते ॥
nirāśaḥ sarvatas tiṣṭhed iṣṭārtheṣu na lolupaḥ || parītātmā tyajet prāṇān sarvapāpāt pramucyate ||
മനുഷ്യൻ എല്ലാറ്റിലും ആശാരഹിതനായി നിലകൊള്ളുകയും, ഇഷ്ടവിഷയങ്ങളിൽ ലോഭിക്കാതിരിക്കുകയും വേണം; ആത്മനിയന്ത്രണത്തോടെ, പ്രാണൻ പോലും വിട്ടാലും, അവൻ സർവപാപങ്ങളിൽ നിന്ന് മോചിതനാകുന്നു.
