Sanskrit Text

भवन्ति सुदुरावर्ता हेतुमन्तोऽपि पण्डिताः दृढपूर्वश्रुता मूढा नैतदस्तीति वादिनः

English Translation

There are some fools who, accomplished in the science of logic, deny the existence of the Soul, for the strength of their convictions of a pristine life. It is very difficult to make them accept this truth about final liberation.
