आत्मा चेति क्रमाज्ज्ञेया रुद्राधिपतयः क्रमात् । तेषां यात्रां क्रमाद्वक्ष्ये सर्वप्राणिहिताय वै
ātmā ceti kramājjñeyā rudrādhipatayaḥ kramāt | teṣāṃ yātrāṃ kramādvakṣye sarvaprāṇihitāya vai
ତାପରେ କ୍ରମକ୍ରମେ ‘ଆତ୍ମା’କୁ ଜାଣିବା ଉଚିତ; ଏବଂ ସେହି କ୍ରମରେ ରୁଦ୍ରରୂପ ଅଧିପତିମାନଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ୟ। ସମସ୍ତ ପ୍ରାଣୀଙ୍କ ହିତାର୍ଥେ ମୁଁ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଯାତ୍ରାମାର୍ଗକୁ କ୍ରମେ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କରିବି।
