12.8.1

/0 śrī-śaunaka uvāca
sūta jīva ciraṃ sādho vada no vadatāṃ vara /
tamasy apāre bhramatāṃ nṝṇāṃ tvaṃ pāra-darśanaḥ //

1. Saunaka said:— O Suta, O righteous one, may thou be blessed with a long life! [Be pleased to discourse to us] who are mortals tossed about in endless darkness (Samsara); thou, alone, canst show us the way to cross it over, O foremost one amongst those that can speak on any subject.
