Kapila–Cow Dialogue: Authority of Householder and Renunciant Dharmas
तुलाधार उवाच आयानेवासि विदितो मम ब्रह्मन् न संशय: । ब्रवीमि यत् तु वचन तच्छुणुष्व द्विजोत्तम
tulādhāra uvāca | āyāne evāsi vidito mama brahman na saṁśayaḥ | bravīmi yat tu vacanaṁ tac chṛṇuṣva dvijottama ||
तुलाधार म्हणाला—हे ब्रह्मन्! आपण माझ्याकडे येत आहात, हे मला आधीच विदित झाले होते; यात संशय नाही. हे द्विजोत्तम! आता मी जे वचन बोलेन ते लक्ष देऊन ऐका.
