Sanskrit Text
प्रेत्य
भूतात्ययश्चैव
देवताभ्युपयाचनम्
।
मृते
कर्मनिवृत्तिश्च
प्रमाणमिति
निश्चयः
॥
English Translation
Thus do the sceptics reason, who are, however, mistaken. The disappearance (of animation) upon the body becoming lifeless means death. The supplication of the gods by the very men who deny the separate existence of the Soul is another good argument (for the proposition that the Soul is separate from the body). Another argument against the sceptic is that his proposition argues a destruction of acts.
