asaṃśayaṃ sañjaya satyameta- ddharmo varaḥ karmaṇāṃ yattvamāttha /
jñātvā tu māṃ sañjaya garhayestvaṃ yadi dharmaṃ yadyadharmaṃ carāmi //

yatrādharmo dharmarūpāṇi dhatte dharmaḥ kṛtsno dṛśyato'dharmarūpaḥ /
bibhraddharmo dharmarūpaṃ tathā ca vidvāṃsastaṃ samprapaśyanti buddhyā //

evaṃ tathaivāpadi liṅgameta- ddharmādharmau nityavṛttī bhajetām /
ādyaṃ liṅgaṃ yasya tasya pramāṇa- māpaddharmaṃ sañjaya taṃ nibodha //

luptāyāṃ tu prakṛtau yena karma niṣpādayettatparīpsedvihīnaḥ /
prakṛtisthaścāpadi vartamāna ubhau garhyau bhavataḥ sañjayaitau //

avināśamicchatāṃ brāhmaṇānāṃ prāyaścittaṃ vihitaṃ yadvidhātrā /
sampaśyethāḥ karmasu vartamānān vikarmasthānsañjaya garhayestvam //

manīṣiṇāṃ sattvicchedanāya vidhiyate satsu vṛttiḥ sadaiva /
abrāhmaṇāḥ santi tu ye na vaidyāḥ sarvotsaṅgaṃ sādhu manyeta tebhyaḥ //

tadadhvānaḥ pitaro ye ca pūrve pitāmahā ye ca tebhyaḥ pare'nye /
yajñaiṣiṇo ye ca hi karma kuryu- rnānyaṃ tato nāstiko'smīti manye //

yatkiñcanedaṃ vittamasyāṃ pṛthivyāṃ yaddevānāṃ tridaśānāṃ paraṃ yat /
prājāpatyaṃ tridivaṃ brahmalokaṃ nādharmataḥ sañjaya kāmayeyam //

dharmeśvaraḥ kuśalo nītimāṃścā- pyupāsitā brāhmaṇānāṃ manīṣī /
nānāvidhāṃścaiva mahābalāṃśca rājanyabhojānanuśāsti kṛṣṇaḥ //

yadi hyahaṃ visṛjatsāma garhyo niyudhyamāno yadi jahyāṃ svadharmam /
mahāyaśāḥ keśavastadbravītu vāsudevastūbhayorarthakāmaḥ //

śaineyo'yaṃ cedayaścāndhakāśca vārṣṇeyabhojāḥ kukurāḥ sṛñjayāśca /
upāsīnā vāsudevasya buddhiṃ nigṛhya śatrūnsuhṛdo nandayanti //

vṛṣṇyandhakā hyugrasenādayo vai kṛṣṇapraṇītāḥ sarva evendrakalpāḥ /
manasvinaḥ satyaparāyaṇāśca mahābalā yādavā bhogavantaḥ //

kāśyo babhruḥ śriyamuttamāṃ gato labdhvā kṛṣṇaṃ bhrātaramīśitāram /
yasmai kāmānvarṣati vāsudevo grīṣmātyaye megha iva prajā'bhyaḥ //

īdṛśo'yaṃ keśavastāta vidvān viddhi hyenaṃ karmaṇāṃ niścayajñam /
priyaśca naḥ sādhutamaśca kṛṣṇo nātikrāme vacanaṃ keśavasya //
