यथाअज्ञापयसे दिद्वंस्त्वं हि नः परमो गुरु: । यच्चान्यदपि कर्तव्यं तद् विधत्स्व महामते
yathājñāpayase didvaṁs tvaṁ hi naḥ paramo guruḥ | yac cānyad api kartavyaṁ tad vidhatsva mahāmate ||
«أيها العالِم، كما تأمر نفعل، فأنت لنا المعلم الأعلى. أيها العظيم الرأي، وما بقي علينا من واجبٍ آخر فحدِّده وعلِّمنا إياه.»
