Saṃsāra-gahana-jñāna: Vidura’s Account of Embodiment, Bondage, and Dharmic Release (संसारगहन-ज्ञानम्)

Devanagari script

मूर्खानिति परानाह नात्मानं समवेक्षते | दोषान्‌ क्षिपति चान्येषां नात्मानं शास्तुमिच्छति

Translation

ସେ ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କୁ ‘ମୂର୍ଖ’ ବୋଲି କହେ, କିନ୍ତୁ ନିଜକୁ କେବେ ଦେଖେ ନାହିଁ। ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ଦୋଷ ଉପରେ ଆକ୍ଷେପ କରେ, କିନ୍ତୁ ସେହି ଦୋଷରୁ ନିଜକୁ ବଞ୍ଚାଇବା ପାଇଁ ନିଜ ମନକୁ ଶାସନ କରିବାକୁ ଚାହେ ନାହିଁ।
