सूक्ष्ममोनीनि भूतानि तर्कगम्यानि कानिचित् । पक्ष्मणो5पि निपातेन येषां स्यथात् स्कन्धपर्यय:
Translation
Сколь много существ рождается в тончайших лонах, иные из них постижимы лишь умозаключением. Одного падения человеческих ресниц достаточно, чтобы у них ломались плечи; как же тогда можно до конца избежать причинения вреда таким существам?
