मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
विमान सूर्यचन्द्रा भं दिव्यं समधिगच्छति । जातरूपमयं युक्त सर्वरत्नसमन्वितम्
vimānaṃ sūryacandrābhaṃ divyaṃ samadhigacchati | jātarūpamayaṃ yuktaṃ sarvaratnasamanvitam ||
Sabi ni Bhishma: Ang gayong tao ay magkakamit ng isang banal na sasakyang panghimpapawid—nagniningning na tulad ng araw at buwan—gawang ginto, ganap ang pagkakalahok, at pinalamutian ng lahat ng uri ng hiyas. Sa diwang etikal, inihaharap ng taludtod ang gantimpalang makalangit bilang bunga ng mabuting gawa: hindi lamang luho, kundi hayag na tanda ng mapalad na bunga ng dharma.
