The Five Great Sacrifices: Supremacy of Honoring Parents, Pativrata Dharma, Truthfulness, and Śrāddha
अरौ मित्रेप्युदासीने मनो यस्य समं व्रजेत् । सर्वपापक्षयस्तस्य विष्णुसायुज्यतां व्रजेत्
arau mitrepyudāsīne mano yasya samaṃ vrajet | sarvapāpakṣayastasya viṣṇusāyujyatāṃ vrajet
శత్రువు, మిత్రుడు, ఉదాసీనుడు—వారందరిపట్ల మనస్సు సమంగా ఉండేవాడి పాపాలు పూర్తిగా నశిస్తాయి; అతడు విష్ణుసాయుజ్యాన్ని పొందుతాడు।
