Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 56
Śokanivāraṇa: Non-brooding, Impermanence, Contentment, and Śuka’s Renunciation
प्राप्नुवंति ततः पंच न भवंति शतायुषः । नाभ्युत्थाने मनुष्याणां योगाः स्युर्नात्र संशयः ॥ ५६ ॥
prāpnuvaṃti tataḥ paṃca na bhavaṃti śatāyuṣaḥ | nābhyutthāne manuṣyāṇāṃ yogāḥ syurnātra saṃśayaḥ || 56 ||
由此缺乏修持之故，只得五年之寿，不能成就百岁长年。若人不以恳切之心奋起、以戒律精进用功，则瑜伽之成就不生——对此毫无疑问。
