Mahabharata · Chapter 13.17
śraddātyāgaṃ nirvṛtiṃ cāpi pūjāṃ satyaṃ dharmaṃ yaḥ kṛtaṃ cābhyupaiti /
kāmadveṣau tyajya sarveṣu tulyaḥ śraddhāpūtaḥ sarvayajñeṣu yogyaḥ //
yasminyajñe sarvabhūtāḥ prahṛṣṭāḥ sarve cārambhāḥ śāstradṛṣṭāḥ pravṛttāḥ /
dharmyairarthyairye yajante dhruvaṃ te pūtātmāno dharmamekaṃ bhajante //
ekākṣaraṃ dvyakṣaramekameva sadā yajante niyatāḥ pratītāḥ /
dṛṣṭvā manāgarcayitvā sma viprāḥ satāṃ mārgaṃ taṃ dhruvaṃ sambhajante //
pāpātmānaḥ krodharagābhibhūtāḥ kṛṣṇe bhaktā nāma saṅkīrtayantaḥ /
pūtātmāno yajñaśīlāḥ sumedhā yajñasyānte kīrtilokānbhajante //
eko vedo brāhmaṇānāṃ babhūva catuṣpādastriguṇo brahmaśīrṣaḥ /
pādampādaṃ brāhmaṇā vedamāhu- stretākāle taṃ ca taṃ viddhi śīrṣam //
