Shloka 15
Adhyāya 353 — Kathā-prāmāṇya (Authority of Transmission) and the Brāhmaṇa’s Ascetic Resolve
Devanagari script
न लिप्यते फलैक्षापि पद्मपत्रमिवाम्भसा | कर्मात्मा त्वपरो यो$सौ मोक्षबन्धै: स युज्यते
Transliteration
na lipyate phalaiṣkāpi padmapatram ivāmbhasā | karmātmā tv aparaḥ yo'sau mokṣabandhaiḥ sa yujyate ||
Translation
Gaya ng dahon ng lotus na kahit nakapatong sa tubig ay hindi nababasa, gayon din ang Kataas-taasang Sarili ay nananatiling di nadidikit ng mga bunga ng gawa. Ngunit ang ibang sarili—ang kaluluwang indibidwal na inaakalang siya ang gumagawa at nag-uugnay sa sarili sa pagkagapos at paglaya—ay hiwalay sa Kataas-taasang iyon.
