Transliteration

kratūyánti krátavo hṛtsú dhītáyo vénanti venā́ḥ patáyanty ā́ díśaḥ | ná marḍitā́ vidyate anyá ebhyo devéṣu me ádhi kā́mā ayaṃsata ||

Translation

Jab hum koi kaam karte hain, toh humare dil mein ichchha uthti hai. Humari soch charo taraf failti hai jaise panchi udte hain. In devtaon ke alawa koi aur humein khushi nahi deta. Humari ichchhayein in devtaon par hi tiki hain.
