Mahābhārata 3.214
Devanagari script
लक्षणं तु प्रसादस्य यथा तृप्त: सुखं स्वपेत् । निवाते वा यथा दीपो दीप्येत् कुशलदीपित:,जैसे भोजन आदिसे तृप्त हुआ मनुष्य सुखसे सोता है और जैसे वायुरहित स्थानमें चतुर मनुष्यके द्वारा जलाया हुआ दीप निश्चलभावसे प्रकाशित होता है; ऐसा ही लक्षण चित्तकी पवित्रताका भी है
Translation
O sinal da serenidade luminosa (prasāda) é este: como o homem saciado dorme com bem‑estar; e como a lâmpada, acesa por mão hábil em lugar sem vento, resplandece firme, sem tremor. Assim também é o sinal da pureza da mente.
