Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 60
Bharata’s Attachment and the Palanquin Teaching on ‘I’ and ‘Mine’
अहं त्वं च तथान्ये च भूतैरुह्याश्च पार्थिव । गुणप्रवाहपतितो भूतवर्गोऽपि यात्ययम् ॥ ६० ॥
ahaṃ tvaṃ ca tathānye ca bhūtairuhyāśca pārthiva | guṇapravāhapatito bhūtavargo'pi yātyayam || 60 ||
ข้า ท่าน และผู้อื่นทั้งหลาย—แม้หมู่สัตว์อย่างพืชพรรณ—โอ้พระราชา หมู่สรรพชีวิตทั้งหมดนี้ตกอยู่ในกระแสแห่งคุณะ และไหลไปสู่ความแปรเปลี่ยนเสื่อมสลาย.
