विश्रान्त ज्ञात्वान च निर्वृतीये सर्वज्ञज्ञाने उपनेन्ति सर्वान् ॥ १०९ ॥

etādṛśī deśana nāyakānāṃ viśrāmahetoḥ pravadanti nirvṛtim |
viśrānta jñātvāna ca nirvṛtīye sarvajñajñāne upanenti sarvān || 109 ||

Such is the teaching of the Leaders: in order to give quiet they speak of repose, (but) when they see that (the creatures) have had a repose, they, knowing this to be no final resting-place, initiate them in the knowledge of the all-knowing.
