असंतोषादिदोष-निरूपणम्
On the Faults of Discontent and the Discipline of Detachment
Devanagari script
ते जनास्तां गति यान्ति नाविद्वांसो5ल्पचेतस: । नाबुद्धयो नातपस: सर्व बुद्धौ प्रतेष्ठितम्
Translation
ਉਹ ਪਰਮ ਗਤੀ ਵਿਦਵਾਨ, ਮਹਾਚੇਤਸ, ਬੁੱਧਿਮਾਨ ਅਤੇ ਤਪਸਵੀ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ। ਜੋ ਅਗਿਆਨੀ, ਮੰਦਬੁੱਧੀ, ਸ਼ੁੱਧ-ਬੁੱਧੀ ਤੋਂ ਰਹਿਤ ਅਤੇ ਤਪੱਸਿਆ-ਸ਼ੂਨ੍ਯ ਹਨ—ਉਹ ਨਹੀਂ; ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਬੁੱਧੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਤਿਸ਼ਠਿਤ ਹੈ।
