तस्य यथाभिनहनं प्रमुच्य प्रब्रूयाद् एतां दिशं गन्धारा एतां दिशं व्रजेति । स ग्रामाद् ग्रामं पृच्छन् पण्डितो मेधावी गन्धारान् एवोपसंपद्येत । एवम् एवेहाचार्यवान् पुरुषो वेद । तस्य तावद् एव चिरं यावन् न विमोक्ष्ये ऽथ संपत्स्य इति

tasya yathābhinahanaṃ pramucya prabrūyād etāṃ diśaṃ gandhārā etāṃ diśaṃ vrajeti | sa grāmād grāmaṃ pṛcchan paṇḍito medhāvī gandhārān evopasaṃpadyeta | evam evehācāryavān puruṣo veda | tasya tāvad eva ciraṃ yāvan na vimokṣye 'tha saṃpatsya iti

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

'And as thereupon some one might loose his bandage and say to him, "Go in that direction, it is Gandhâra, go in that direction;" and as thereupon, having been informed and being able to judge for himself, he would by asking his way from village to village arrive at last at Gandhâra,—in exactly the same manner does a man, who meets with a teacher to inform him, obtain the true knowledge. For him there is only delay so long as he is not delivered (from the body); then he will be perfect.
