पितृयज्ञे नारायणतत्त्वम् — The Nārāyaṇa Grounding of Ancestral Offerings
न तत्र पक्षिसंघातो न शब्दो नातिदर्शनम् | यत्र वैयासकिर्धीमान् योक्तुं समुपचक्रमे
na tatra pakṣi-saṅghāto na śabdo nātidarśanam | yatra vaiyāsakir dhīmān yoktuṃ samupacakrame ||
毗湿摩说道：“在那地方，没有群鸟聚集，没有丝毫声响，也无任何夺目之景——正是在那里，睿智的毗耶娑之子舒迦开始入于瑜伽。四周寂然无扰，远离一切牵引分心之物，他收摄自身，趋向内在的合一。”
