महाभारतः mahābhārataḥ - book-5, chapter-42, verse-5

प्रमादाद्वै असुराः पराभवन्नप्रमादाद्ब्रह्मभूता भवन्ति ।
न वै मृत्युर्व्याघ्र इवात्ति जन्तून्न ह्यस्य रूपमुपलभ्यते ह ॥५॥

5. pramādāt vai asurāḥ parābhavan
apramādāt brahmabhūtāḥ bhavanti na
vai mṛtyuḥ vyāghra iva atti jantūn
na hi asya rūpam upalabhyate ha

5. The asuras were vanquished due to heedlessness (pramāda), while through attentiveness (apramāda), beings attain the state of Brahman. Death does not truly devour creatures like a tiger; indeed, its form is not perceived.
