Utkramaṇa-sthāna and Ariṣṭa-lakṣaṇa: Yājñavalkya’s Instruction on Departure Pathways and Mortality Signs
Devanagari script
भारं स वहते तस्य ग्रन्थस्यार्थ न वेत्ति यः । यस्तु ग्रन्थार्थतत्त्वज्ञो नास्य ग्रन्थागमो वृथा
Translation
ਜੋ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਦਾ ਅਰਥ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਣਦਾ, ਉਹ ਤਾਂ ਕੇਵਲ ਉਸ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਦਾ ਭਾਰ ਹੀ ਢੋ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ; ਪਰ ਜੋ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ-ਅਰਥ ਦੇ ਤੱਤ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਣਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਸ ਲਈ ਉਸ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਦਾ ਅਧਿਐਨ ਵਿਅਰਥ ਨਹੀਂ।
