Adhyaya 20 — Ritadhvaja’s Companionship with the Naga Princes and the Origin of the Horse Kuvalaya
नाविज्ञातं न चागम्यं नाप्राप्यं दिवि चेह वा ।
उद्यतानां मनुष्याणां यतचित्तेन्द्रियात्मनाम् ॥
nāvijñātaṃ na cāgamyaṃ nāprāpyaṃ divi ceha vā | udyatānāṃ manuṣyāṇāṃ yata-cittendriyātmanām ||
جو انسان سعی کرتے ہیں—جن کا ذہن، حواس اور نفس ضبط میں ہوں—ان کے لیے نہ کچھ ناقابلِ معرفت ہے، نہ کچھ ناقابلِ رسائی، نہ کچھ ناقابلِ حصول؛ خواہ آسمان میں ہو یا اسی زمین پر۔
