Sanskrit Text

गतिं यां दर्शनमाह देवो; गत्वा शुभं दर्शनमेव चाह गतिः पुनर्वर्णकृता प्रजानां; वर्णस्तथा कालकृतोऽसुरेन्द्र

English Translation

That success is the same end which the divine Indra declared after having studied many sacred scriptural books and which has for its essence the apprehension of the Soul. The end again that creatures obtain depends on their colour, and colour, in its turn, depends upon the character of the Time that sets in, O Daitya.
