Shloka (श्लोक)
भरद्वाज उवाच
यद एतद भवताभिहितं सुखानां परमाः सत्रिय इति तन न गृह्नीमः
न हय एषाम ऋषीणां महति सथितानाम अप्राप्यैष गुणविशेषॊ न चैनम अभिलसन्ति
शरूयते च भगवांस तरिलॊककृद बरह्मा परभ्व एकाकी तिष्ठति
बरह्मचारी न कामसुखेष्व आत्मानम अवदधाति
अपि च भगवान विश्वेश्वरॊमा पतिः कामम अभिवर्तमानम अनङ्गत्वेन शमम अनयत
तस्माद बरूमॊ न महात्मभिर अयं परतिगृहीतॊ न तव एष तावद विशिष्टॊ गुण इति नैतद भगवतः परत्येमि
भगवता तूक्तं सुखानां परमाः सत्रिय इति
लॊकप्रवादॊ ऽपि च भवति दविविधः फलॊदयः सुकृतात सुखम अवाप्यते दुष्कृताद दुःखम इति
अत्रॊच्यताम
