नाभिषेको न संस्कारः सिंहस्य क्रियते वने ।
विक्रमार्जितसत्त्वस्य स्वयमेव मृगेंद्रता ॥ ७

Nabhisheko na sanskarah simhasya kriyate vane |

Vikramaarjitasatvasya svayameva mrugendrata ||

                                                

There is no coronation, no ritual to declare the Lion the king of jungle.

He becomes king by his own attributes and heroism.

न चोरहार्यं न च राजहार्यं न भातृभाज्यं न च भारकारि ।

व्यय कृते वर्धते एव निजं विद्याधनं सर्वधनप्रधानम् ॥ ८

Na choraharyam na cha raajaharyam na bhatrubhajyam na cha bharakari |

Vyaya krute vardhate eva nijam vidyadhanam sarvadhanapradhanam ||    

Cannot be stolen, nor can be usurped by kings, cannot be divided among brothers and can never be a burden. When spent, it only keeps growing. It is true that knowledge indeed is the most superior wealth of all.

इन्द्रं मित्रं वरुणमग्निमाहुरथो दिव्यः स सुपर्णो गरुत्मान् ।

एकं सद् विप्रा: बहुदा वदन्ति। अग्निं यमं मातरिश्वानमाहुः ।। ९

Indram mitram varunamagnimaahuratho divya sa suparno garutman |

Ekam sad vipra bahudaa vadanti | agnim yamam matarisvan ||

They hail Him as Indra, as Mitra, as Varuna, as Agni, also as that divine and noble-winged Garutman. It is of One Existence that the wise ones speak in diverse ways, whether as Agni, or as Yama, or as Matarisvan.

न कश्चिदपि जानाति किं कस्य श्वो भविश्यति ।

अतः श्वः करणियानि कुर्याद्द्यैव बुद्धिमान् ॥ १०

No one knows what happens to whom tomorrow.

Hence, intelligent people do tomorrow’s work today itself.

असतो मा सद्गमय ।
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ।
मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय । ११

                                   

Asato ma sadgamaya |

Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya |

Mrutyorma amrutam gamaya |

Lead me from falsehood to truth

Lead me from darkness to light

Lead me from death to immortality
