Devanagari script
नतु ताम्यति वै विद्वान् स्थले चरति तत्त्ववित् । एवं यो विन्दते55त्मानं केवल ज्ञानमात्मन:
Translation
Но мудрец, знающий истину, так не изнемогает; даже в воде он ступает, как по суше. Так же и познавший сущность (tattvavit), обретя Атман — чистый, состоящий лишь из знания, — переправляется через океан сансары.
