The Account of Hanumān
न कश्चित्तं प्रति द्वेषी न च तं हिंसयेदपि । एतन्मे दीयतां देव मृतानाममृतिस्तथा ॥ ८९ ॥
na kaścittaṃ prati dveṣī na ca taṃ hiṃsayedapi | etanme dīyatāṃ deva mṛtānāmamṛtistathā || 89 ||
Que nul ne nourrisse de haine envers lui, ni ne lui fasse du mal d’aucune manière. Ô Seigneur, accorde‑moi cela ; et de même, que pour ceux qui sont morts il y ait délivrance de la mort, c’est‑à‑dire l’immortalité.
