Who was a man with definite conclusions properly framed about Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha (Salvation), who was a man with a great soul seeing the universe about, below, and around as if it were present before his eyes, who was a master of Sankhya and Yoga (Philosophies), and who was ever desirous of humbling the Devas and the Asuras by fomenting quarrels amongst them,
धर्मकामार्थमोक्षेषु यथावत् कृतनिश्चयः। तथा भुवनकोशस्य सर्वस्यास्य महामतिः॥ प्रत्यक्षदर्शी लोकस्य तिर्यगूर्ध्वमधस्तथा। सांख्ययोगविभागज्ञो निर्विवित्सुः सुरासुरान्॥
