197.1.52

kahaṃ dhīro aheūhiṃ | ummatto va mahiṃ care /
ee visesamādāya | sūrā daḍhaparakkamā ||52||

"Why should a wise man, for bad reasons, live on earth like a madman, since those persons (mentioned above) who reached eminence, exerted themselves strongly? (52)
"I have spoken true words able to promote virtue; some have been saved, some are being saved, and some will be saved. (53)
"Why should a wise man, for bad reasons, bring affliction upon himself? He who has become free from all ties and sins, will reach perfection." (54)
Thus I say.

Hermann Jacobi 1895, Uttarâdhyayana Sûtra (Gaina Sûtras II, SBE 45)

atariṃsu tarantege | tarissanti aṇāgayā ||53||
