Śuka’s Guṇa-Transcendence and Vyāsa’s Consolation (शुकगति-वर्णनम्)
Devanagari script
न चैषामत्ययो राजन् लक्ष्यते प्रभवो न च । अवस्थायामवस्थायां दीपस्येवार्चिषो गति:
Translation
राजन्! या कलांचा न लय दिसतो, न उद्भव; प्रत्येक अवस्थेत अवस्थेचा प्रवाह दीपाच्या ज्योतीसारखा आहे—क्षणोक्षणी नष्ट होऊन पुन्हा उत्पन्न होत असतो, तरीही तो दिसत नाही॥
