Mataṅga–Gardabhī Itihāsa
इदं यश्चापि शूणुयाद् रहस्यं त्वड्धिरोमतम् | उत्तमे च कुले जन्म लभेज्जातीश्व संस्मरेत्,जो अज्िरामुनिके इस रहस्यमय मतको सुनता है, वह उत्तम कुलमें जन्म पाता और पूर्वजन्मकी बातोंको स्मरण करता है
idaṃ yaś cāpi śṛṇuyād rahasyaṃ tv adhiromatam | uttame ca kule janma labhej jātīṣv anusmareta ||
Sinumang makinig sa lihim na aral na ito—na iginagalang bilang pinakamataas na payo—ay magkakamit ng kapanganakan sa marangal na angkan, at magkakaroon ng kakayahang alalahanin ang mga naunang buhay.
