भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय २: संजयस्य दिव्यदृष्टिप्रदानम् तथा निमित्तवर्णनम्
Granting Sañjaya Divine Sight and the Description of Omens
प्रकाशं वाप्रकाशं वा दिवा वा यदि वा निशि | मनसा चिन्तितमपि सर्व वेत्स्यति संजय:,“कोई भी बात प्रकट हो या अप्रकट, दिनमें हो या रातमें अथवा वह मनमें ही क्यों न सोची गयी हो, संजय सब कुछ जान लेगा
prakāśaṃ vāprakāśaṃ vā divā vā yadi vā niśi | manasā cintitam api sarvaṃ vetsyati sañjayaḥ |
毗舍波耶那说：“无论是公开之事还是隐秘之事，无论在白昼还是黑夜——即便只是心中所念——三阇耶都将尽知。”
