Aśauca
त्वदधीनं जगद्भद्रे तवोच्छिष्टं हतं भवेत्॥ न देवाः पितरस्तस्य गृह्णन्तीह कदाचन॥
tvadadhīnaṃ jagadbhadre tavocchiṣṭaṃ hataṃ bhavet || na devāḥ pitarastasya gṛhṇantīha kadācana ||
भद्रे, यह पूरा जग तेरे ऊपर चलता है। जो तेरे बाकी हुई चीज़ को कचरा समझता है, वो खराब हो जाता है। देवता और पितर उसको कभी नहीं लेते।
