Tapas-bala and karmic ascent across yoni
Devanagari script
आत्मौपम्येन मन्तव्यं बुद्धिमद्धिः कृतात्मभि: । मृत्युतो भयमस्तीति विदुषां भूतिमिच्छताम्
Transliteration
ātmaupamyena mantavyaṃ buddhimadbhiḥ kṛtātmabhiḥ | mṛtyuto bhayam astīti viduṣāṃ bhūtim icchatām ||
Translation
Bhīṣma berkata: Orang yang bijaksana dan berdisiplin diri hendaklah menilai dengan menyamakan diri—melihat semua makhluk sebagaimana melihat diri sendiri. Bahkan orang berilmu yang menginginkan kesejahteraan dirinya pun tetap takut akan kematian; maka bagaimana mungkin makhluk yang tidak bersalah, sihat, dan ingin hidup tidak berasa takut apabila mereka dibunuh secara paksa oleh manusia berdosa yang mencari nafkah daripada daging?
