Naciketas’ Journey to Yama’s Abode and the Eulogy of Truthfulness
धर्मज्ञश्च यशस्वी च नित्यं क्षान्तो जितेन्द्रियः ॥ शुश्रूषुरनहंवादी शक्तस्तारयितुं मम ॥
dharmajñaśca yaśasvī ca nityaṃ kṣānto jitendriyaḥ|| śuśrūṣuranahaṃvādī śaktastārayituṃ mama ||
तुम धरम जानते हो और तुम्हारा नाम अच्छा है। तुम हमेशा सहना करते हो, अपने मन को संभालते हो, और बड़े की सेवा करते हो। तुम अपने बारे में ज़्यादा नहीं बोलते। तुम मुझे बचा सकते हो।
