लब्ध्वा कथञ्चिन्नरजन्म दुर्लभं
तत्रापि पुंस्त्वं श्रुतिपारदर्शनम् ।
यस्त्वात्ममुक्तौ न यतेत मूढधीः
स ह्यात्महा स्वं विनिहन्त्यसद्ग्रहात् ॥
विवेकचूडामणि: 4

labdhvā kathañcin-narajanma durlabhaṃ
tatrāpi puṃstvaṃ śruti-pāradarśanam |
yastv-ātma-muktau na yateta mūḍhadhīḥ
sa hyātmahā svaṃ vinihantyasadgrahāt ||
