कपिल–स्यूमरश्मि संवादः
Kapila and Syūmaraśmi on Renunciation, Householder Support, and Epistemic Authority
तत्रापराणि दारूणि संसृज्यन्ते परस्परम् । तृणकाष्ठकरीषाणि कदाचिजन्न समीक्षया
tatrāparāṇi dārūṇi saṃsṛjyante parasparam | tṛṇakāṣṭhakarīṣāṇi kadācij janna samīkṣayā
在那里，别的木段也彼此相触、相摩；草屑、枝条，乃至干粪，有时也被带来聚在一处——无人刻意察觉，更无人有意为之。（图拉达罗借此指出：世间许多事件与组合往往出自寻常而无心的接触，并非出于自觉的设计；因此在判断因由、归咎他人时，当持伦理上的谨慎。）
तुलाधार उवाच
Educational Q&A
Tūlādhāra uses a simple image—fuel materials accidentally coming together—to stress that many outcomes arise from unintended conjunctions. Ethically, this cautions against hasty judgments about intention and blame, and encourages careful discernment (viveka) before attributing moral fault.
In his discourse, Tūlādhāra illustrates his point with commonplace fuel items—wood, grass, sticks, and dung—showing how they can be gathered or meet each other without deliberate attention. The example supports his broader reflection on how actions and consequences may occur without conscious planning.
