Devanagari script

पाशुपतव्रत अस् एस्चपे फ़्रोम् संसार तस्मात्सर्वप्रयत्नेन चरेत्पाशुपतव्रतम् भस्मशायी भवेन्नित्यं व्रते पाशुपते बुधः

Transliteration

pāśupatavrata as escape from saṃsāra tasmātsarvaprayatnena caretpāśupatavratam bhasmaśāyī bhavennityaṃ vrate pāśupate budhaḥ

Translation

Пашупата-врата — средство выхода из сансары; потому следует всеми усилиями соблюдать пашупатскую дисциплину. В этом обете мудрый искатель должен всегда пребывать с священным пеплом (бхасма)—делая пепел своим постоянным оплотом,—дабы пашу (связанная душа) приблизилась к милости Пати и освободилась от паша (уз).
