योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-183, verse-36

क्षणांशेनापि यो ज्येष्ठो न्यायस्तेनावपूर्यते ।
नार्थे न्यायान्तरं किंचित्कर्तुमुत्सहते मदम् ॥ ३६ ॥

kṣaṇāṃśenāpi yo jyeṣṭho nyāyastenāvapūryate ,
nārthe nyāyāntaraṃ kiṃcitkartumutsahate madam 36

36. kṣaṇāṃśena api yaḥ jyeṣṭhaḥ nyāyaḥ tena avapūryate
na arthe nyāyāntaram kiṃcit kartum utsahate madam

36. yaḥ jyeṣṭhaḥ nyāyaḥ kṣaṇāṃśena api tena avapūryate.
arthe kiṃcit nyāyāntaram madam kartum na utsahate.

36. The principal (jyeṣṭha) rule (nyāya), even if applicable for only a fraction of a moment, is perfectly fulfilled by that very application. No other secondary rule (nyāyāntara) can assert itself with pride regarding the matter, nor can it supersede the main rule.
