O you of great wisdom, vouchsafe me those instructions which lead to tranquillity. What is that understanding which had enabled you to wander over the world in tranquillity of soul and free yourself from all acts?
बोध्यं शान्तमृषि राजा नाहुषः पर्यपृच्छत। निर्वेदाच्छान्तिमापन्नं शास्त्रप्रज्ञानतर्पितम्॥ उपदेशं महाप्राज्ञ शमस्योपदिशस्व मे। का बुद्धिं समनुध्याय शान्तश्चरसि निर्वृतः॥
