TRANSLITERATION

oṃ purvavikalpah prakaranatsyatkriyamanasavat oṃ || 3.3.46||

Shloka 53
ॐ न सामान्यादप्युपलब्धेर्मृत्युवन्नहि लोकापत्तिः ॐ ॥ ३.३.५३॥

TRANSLITERATION

oṃ na samanyadapyupalabdhermrtyuvannahi lokapattih oṃ || 3.3.53||

ENGLISH MEANING

Not even on the ground of similarity can the mental fires become subservient to rites, since they are noticed to serve human needs, just as it is in the case of death; for the world does not become fire just because of a similarity.

oṃ vyatirekastadbhavabhavitvanna tupalabdhivat oṃ || 3.3.56||

TRANSLITERATION

oṃ kamyastu yathakamam samucciyeranna va purvahetvabhavat oṃ || 3.3.62||

ENGLISH MEANING
