The cutting off my one arm with an axe and the smearing of the other with sandal, both will be equally regarded by me as the same. I shall not desire good from one or evil from the other. I shall not be pleased with life or displeased with death. I shall neither wish to live or fear to die.
वास्यैकं तक्षतो बाहुं चन्दनेनैकमुक्षतः। नाकल्याणं न कल्याणं चिन्तयन्नुभयोस्तयोः॥ न जिजीविषुवत् किंचिन्न मुमूर्षुवदाचरन्। जीवितं मरणं चैव नाभिनन्दन् न च द्विषन्॥
