यथा नदीनदाः सर्वे सागरे यान्ति संस्थितिम् । तथा-एव-आश्रमिणः सर्वे गृहस्थे यान्ति संस्थितिम् ॥
yathā nadī.nadāḥ sarve sāgare yānti saṃsthitim | tathā-eva-āśramiṇaḥ sarve gṛhasthe yānti saṃsthitim ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
As all rivers, both great and small, find a resting-place in the ocean, even so men of all orders find protection with householders.
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
