Mahabharata · Chapter 13.35
kiṃ kartavyaṃ manuṣyeṇa lokayātrāhitārthinā /
kathaṃ vai lokayātrāṃ tu kiṃśīlaśca samācaret //
bhīṣma uvāca /
deve nārāyaṇe bhaktiḥ śankare sādhupūjayā / dhyānenātha japaḥ kāryaḥ svadharmaiḥ śucicetasā //
kāyena trividhaṃ karma vācā cāpi caturvidham /
manasā trividhaṃ caiva daśa karmapathāṃstyajet //
prāṇātipātaḥ stainyaṃ ca paradārābhimarśanam /
trīṇi pāpāni kāyena sarvataḥ parivarjayet //
asatpralāpaṃ pāruṣyaṃ paiśunyamanṛtaṃ tathā /
catvāri vācā rājendra na jalpennānucintayet //
anabhidhyā parakheṣu sarvasatveṣu sauhṛdam /
karmaṇāṃ phalamastīti trividhaṃ manasā caret //
tasmādvākvāyamanasā nācaredaśubhaṃ naraḥ / śubhānyevācaram̐lloke bhakto nārāyaṇasya hi /
tasyaiva tu padaṃ sūkṣmaṃ prasādādaśnuyātparam //
