Saṃvaraṇa’s Petition and Tapatī’s Conditioned Consent (सम्वरण-तपती संवादः)

Devanagari script

गुरुणा चाननुज्ञातो ग्राहयेद्‌ यत्‌ सुतो मम । न स कुर्यात्‌ तथा कार्य विद्ययेति सतां मतम्‌,और यदि मेरा पुत्र गुरुकी आज्ञा लिये बिना अपना मन्त्र किसीको सिखा देगा तो वह सीखनेवाला मनुष्य उस मन्त्रसे वैसा कार्य नहीं कर सकेगा, जैसा मेरा पुत्र कर लेता है। इस विषयमें साधु पुरुषोंका ऐसा ही मत है
