बुद्धया भयं प्रणुदति तपसा विन्दते महत् | गुरुशुश्रूषया ज्ञानं शान्तिं योगेन विन्दति
buddhyā bhayaṁ praṇudati tapasā vindate mahat | guruśuśrūṣayā jñānaṁ śāntiṁ yogena vindati ||
Manusia mengusir rasa takut dengan kejernihan budi; dengan tapa ia meraih kedudukan yang luhur; dengan berbakti melayani guru ia memperoleh pengetahuan sejati; dan dengan yoga yang tertib ia menemukan kedamaian batin.
