अहिंसानिरता ये च ये च सत्यव्रता नरा: । दान्ता: शमपराश्वैव तान् नमस्यामि केशव
ahiṁsā-niratā ye ca ye ca satya-vratā narāḥ | dāntāḥ śama-parāś caiva tān namasyāmi keśava
Nārada nói: “Hỡi Keśava, ta đảnh lễ những người chuyên tâm nơi ahimsa (bất bạo hại), đã thệ nguyện chân thật, tự chế ngự, và hoàn toàn dốc lòng vào śama—sự an tĩnh nội tâm.”
