न नास्तिकानां वचनं ब्रवीम्यहं न नास्तिकोऽहं न च नास्ति किंचन। समीक्ष्य कालं पुनरास्तिकोऽभवं भवेय काले पुनरेव नास्तिकः॥
na nāstikānāṃ vacanaṃ bravīmyahaṃ na nāstiko'haṃ na ca nāsti kiṃcana| samīkṣya kālaṃ punarāstiko'bhavaṃ bhaveya kāle punareva nāstikaḥ||
English Meaning
I do not speak the language of atheists; nor am I an atheist; nor yet is it true that there is nothing (hereafter). On the occasion of things having reference to the next world being performed, I am again a believer, and on the occasion of things' connection with this world being taken in hand, I am an atheist once again.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
