Abhaya-Itihāsa: Karma, Indriyas, and the Non-sensory Brahman
Brāhmaṇī–Brāhmaṇa Saṃvāda
घ्रेये पेये च दृश्ये च स्पृश्ये श्रव्ये तथैव च । मन्तव्येडप्यथ बोद्धव्ये सुभगे पश्य सर्वदा
ghreye peye ca dṛśye ca spṛśye śravye tathaiva ca | mantavye 'py atha boddhavye subhage paśya sarvadā ||
伐由说道:“吉祥的女子啊,当恒常以觉照观照一切所缘——可嗅者、可饮者、可见者、可触者、可闻者,亦复可思惟者与可了知者。常以如供献般的清净之心观之,使诸根触境成为调御,而非为境所役。”
वायुदेव उवाच
All sense-objects and even mental objects (thought and understanding) should be continually observed with disciplined awareness, so that engagement with the world is purified and governed by dharma rather than by craving.
Vāyudeva addresses a woman respectfully as “subhagā,” instructing her on how to relate to sensory and cognitive experiences—smell, taste/drink, sight, touch, hearing, reflection, and understanding—by maintaining constant, deliberate attention.
