The Dialogue between Rukmāṅgada and Dharmāṅgada
स एव भोक्ता भोक्तव्यः स एव पुरुषोत्तमः । विनियोगस्तु तस्यैव सर्वकर्मसु युज्यते ॥ ४१ ॥
sa eva bhoktā bhoktavyaḥ sa eva puruṣottamaḥ | viniyogastu tasyaiva sarvakarmasu yujyate || 41 ||
Он один — наслаждающийся, и Он один — то, чем следует наслаждаться; Он один — Пурушоттама, Верховная Личность. Потому надлежащее посвящение всех деяний должно быть обращено лишь к Нему одному.
