Saṃhāra-krama (The Sequence of Cosmic Dissolution) — Yājñavalkya’s Discourse

Devanagari script

तुल्यं शौचं तपोयुक्तं दया भूतेषु चानघ । व्रतानां धारणं तुल्यं दर्शनं॑ न समं तयो:

Translation

Kesucian lahir dan batin, tapa yang disertai disiplin, belas kasihan terhadap semua makhluk—wahai yang tanpa noda—serta pemeliharaan ikrar-ikrar (vrata): semuanya diterima sebagai sama dalam kedua pandangan itu. Namun, darśana mereka—yakni pendekatan dan kaedahnya—tidaklah sama.
