Śuka’s Nirveda: Vyāsa’s Admonition on Dharma, Impermanence, and ‘Imperishable Wealth’ (अक्षय-धन)
Devanagari script
असता धर्मकामेन विशुद्ध॑ कर्म दुष्करम् | सता तु धर्मकामेन सुकरं कर्म दुष्करम्
Translation
«မကောင်းသူက ဓမ္မကို လိုလားသော်လည်း သန့်ရှင်းသော ကုသိုလ်ကံကို ပြုလုပ်ခြင်းသည် ခက်ခဲ၏။ သို့ရာတွင် သမာဓိရှိသော ကောင်းသူက ဓမ္မကို လိုလားလျှင် ခက်ခဲဆုံးသော အလုပ်ပင်လျှင် လွယ်ကူလာသည်»။
