पूष्णश्चक्रं न रिष्यति न कोशोऽव पद्यते । नो अस्य व्यथते पविः ॥
Transliteration
pūṣṇáś cakráṁ ná riṣyati ná kōśó ’vá padyate | nó asya vyathate pavíḥ ||
Translation
പൂഷണന്റെ ചക്രം ക്ഷതപ്പെടുന്നില്ല; അവന്റെ കോശം (ധനഭണ്ഡാരം) വീണുപോകുന്നില്ല; അവന്റെ തീക്ഷ്ണ പവി (ധാര) പോലും കുലുങ്ങുന്നില്ല—അവന്റെ മാർഗ്ഗദർശകശക്തി അഖണ്ഡവും അജേയവും ആയി നിലനിൽക്കും.
