Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 37
तस्मात्स्नेहं न लिप्सेन मित्रेभ्यो धनसंचयात् । स्वशरीरसमुत्थं च ज्ञानेन विनिर्वतयेत्
tasmātsnehaṃ na lipsena mitrebhyo dhanasaṃcayāt | svaśarīrasamutthaṃ ca jñānena vinirvatayet
Portanto, não se deve cobiçar o apego—quer nasça dos amigos, quer do ajuntamento de riquezas. E o que surgir do próprio corpo, que seja removido pelo conhecimento.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta)
Scene: A seeker cutting two cords labeled ‘mitra-sneha’ and ‘dhana-saṃcaya’; a third shadow labeled ‘deha-ja bandha’ dissolves under a lamp labeled ‘jñāna’.
