Āṅgirasasmṛti · Chapter 2.1

viśvarūpaṃ namaskṛtya devaṃ tribhuvaneśvaram /
dharmasya darśanārthāya aṅgirā idamabravīt //

atha trayāṇāṃ vakṣyāmi pramāṇaṃ vidhimāditaḥ /
dharmasya parṣadaścaiva prāyaścittakramasya ca //

prāyaścittaṃ catuṣpādaṃ vihitaṃ dharmakartṛbhiḥ /
pariṣaddaśadhā proktā trividhā vā samāsataḥ //

pramāṇābhihitaṃ yattu sarvamaṅgirasā tadā /
aprameyapramāṇasya duḥkhenādhigamo bhavet //

tasmādaṅgirasā puṇyaṃ dharmaśāstramidaṃ kṛtam /
upasthānavranādeśa caryāśuddhiprakāśanam //

sa dharmastu kṛto jñeyaḥ svādhiṣṭhānaka eva vai /
caturbhiḥ sādhanaiścaiva dharmaḥ proktaḥ sanātanaḥ //

kṛtvā pūrvamudāhārya yathoktaṃ dharmakartṛbhiḥ /
paścātkāryānusāreṇa śaktyā kuryuranugraham //

yatpūrvamṛṣibhiḥ proktaṃ dharmaśāstramanuttamam /
tatpramāṇaṃ tu sarveṣāṃ lokadharmānuvarṇanam //

na hi teṣāmatikramya vacanāni mahātmanām /
prajñānairapi vidvadbhiḥ śakyamanyatprabhāṣitum //

svābhiprāyakṛtaṃ karma vidhivijñānavarjitam /
krīḍākarmeva bālānāṃ tatsarvaṃ syānnirarthakam //
