Chapter 57
एते हयामुच्य भगवन् क्षुत्पिपासाभयं कुत: । विषान्निश्वापदेभ्यश्व भयं जातु न विद्यते,“भगवन्! इन्हें धारण कर लेनेपर भूख-प्यासका भय कहाँ रह जाता है? विष, अग्नि और हिंसक जन्तुओंसे भी कभी भय नहीं होता है
ete hayāmucya bhagavan kṣutpipāsābhayaṃ kutaḥ | viṣāgniśvāpadebhyaś ca bhayaṃ jātu na vidyate ||
