श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
भूय एव महाबाहो श्रृणु मे परमं वचः ।
आदर्शो राजतेऽत्यर्थं पौनःपुन्येन मार्जितः ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
bhūya eva mahābāho śrṛṇu me paramaṃ vacaḥ |
ādarśo rājate'tyarthaṃ paunaḥpunyena mārjitaḥ || 1 ||

Vasishtha resumed and said:—Hear me moreover, O Rama, to tell thee, a few words on transcendental knowledge, that the mirror of the mind shines more brightly, by expurgation of the external images that are reflected on it, than when it is eclipsed by those outward shadows.
