Adhyāya 284: Tapas as a Corrective to Household Attachment
Parāśara’s Instruction
Devanagari script
दशलक्षणसंयुक्तो धर्मोडर्थ: काम एव च | गड्जा समुद्रा: सरित: पल््चलानि सरांसि च
Translation
你自身就是具足十相之法（Dharma），亦即义利（Artha）与欲乐（Kāma）。你是恒河，是大海，是诸河流；你是水坑与池沼。你是藤蔓与蔓草，是青草与药草；你是家畜、野兽与飞鸟。你是资财与事业之发端；你亦是时间本身——赐予花与果的时轮。
