Sanskrit Original
सम्यक्संकल्पसंबन्धात् सम्यक् चेन्द्रियनिग्रहात् सम्यग्व्रतविशेषाच्च सम्यक च गुरुसेवनात्॥ सम्यगाहारयोगाच्च सम्यक् चाध्ययनागमात्। सम्यक्कर्मोपसंन्यासात् सम्यक्चित्तनिरोधनात्॥ एवं कर्माणि कुर्वन्ति संसारविजिगीषवः। रागद्वेषविनिर्मुक्ता ऐश्वर्यं देवता गताः॥
Those, who wish to subdue the world for the purposes of salvation, should always act by fully renouncing all motives and by subduing their senses, rigidly observing vows, devotedly serving their preceptors, austerely regulating their food, diligently studying the Vedas, renouncing action as mean and restraining their heart. By renouncing desire and aversions, the celestials have obtained prosperity.
