भविष्यसि न संदेहो मत्प्रसादान्न संशयः । सुदुःकालैर्विना त्वं तु भविष्यसि सुपुण्यवान्
bhaviṣyasi na saṃdeho matprasādānna saṃśayaḥ | suduḥkālairvinā tvaṃ tu bhaviṣyasi supuṇyavān
ನೀನು ನಿಶ್ಚಯವಾಗಿ ಸಮೃದ್ಧನಾಗುವೆ—ಸಂದೇಹವಿಲ್ಲ. ನನ್ನ ಪ್ರಸಾದದಿಂದ ಯಾವ ಅನಿಶ್ಚಿತತೆಯೂ ಇಲ್ಲ; ಭಯಂಕರ ದುಃಕಾಲಗಳಿಲ್ಲದೆ ನೀನು ಮಹಾಪುಣ್ಯವಂತನಾಗುವೆ.

FAQs

Grace is presented as decisive and doubt-dispelling: it guarantees well-being and allows progress without undergoing severe hardship.
It emphasizes trust in righteous guidance and the transformative power of divine favor, suggesting that merit (puṇya) can be strengthened through blessing and right alignment rather than suffering alone.
