कालयुक्तधर्मविवेकः
Discerning Dharma in Accord with Time
श्रुतवन्तो दयावन्त: शुचय: सत्यसंगरा: । स्वैरर्थ: परिसंतुष्टास्ते नरा: स्वर्गगामिन:,जो शास्त्रज्ञ, दयालु पवित्र, सत्यप्रतिज्ञ और अपने ही धनसे संतुष्ट होते हैं, वे स्वर्गलोकमें जाते हैं
śrutavanto dayāvantaḥ śucayaḥ satyasaṅgarāḥ | svairarthāḥ parisaṃtuṣṭās te narāḥ svargagāminaḥ ||
Sinabi ni Mahādeva: “Yaong mga taong natuto sa masusing pakikinig, mahabagin sa gawa, malinis sa pamumuhay, matatag sa katotohanan bilang panata, at nasisiyahan sa sariling matuwid na kabuhayan—sila’y makararating sa mga daigdig ng langit.”
