SUTRA 1: Bhrigu Sutra, Brahma Sutra, Narada Bhakti Sutra, Pashupata Sutra, Shandilya Bhakti Sutra, Tattva Samasa Sankhya Sutra, Vidya Ratna Sutra
The Bhrigu Sutra: for a man's future plight,
Divines his horoscope with stars, dark or bright.
The Brahma Sutra: Vedanta's grand display,
Declares that Brahman is the ultimate Way.
Narada & Shandilya Bhakti Sutra: both agree,
That true devotion (Bhakti) brings felicity.
The Pashupata Sutra: Shiva's decree,
A path of asceticism for liberation to be.
The Tattva Samasa: summarizes Sankhya's art,
With 25 principles to play its philosophical part.
The term "Sutra" itself, a thread of concise lore,
Aphoristic verses, saying much and no more.
"Vidya", simply put, is knowledge pure and true,
The understanding gained when one sees life anew.
The "Ratna Sutra", a jewel-like discourse we find,
A treasure of wisdom for the soul and the mind.
