विमानेन दिवं गच्छ सकुटुंबो महामुने । मत्प्रसादाच्च युष्माकं सदैव नवयौवनम्
vimānena divaṃ gaccha sakuṭuṃbo mahāmune | matprasādācca yuṣmākaṃ sadaiva navayauvanam
हे महामुने, कुटुंबासह विमानाने स्वर्गास जा. माझ्या कृपेने तुमच्यात सदैव नवे यौवन टिकून राहील.

Concept: Divine grace can elevate not only the individual but the family line; righteous conduct yields tangible ‘heavenly’ results.
Application: See blessings as stewardship: use prosperity and ‘youth’ (health/energy) for dharma and service rather than indulgence.
