Devanagari script

अक्षयत्वात्‌ प्रजनने अजमत्राहुरव्ययम्‌ अक्षयं पुरुष प्राहु: क्षयो हास्य न विद्यते

Transliteration

akṣayatvāt prajanane ajam atrāhur avyayam | akṣayaṃ puruṣaṃ prāhuḥ kṣayo hāsya na vidyate ||

Translation

ଜନ୍ମରେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଯେହେତୁ ସେ ଅକ୍ଷୟ, ତେଣୁ ଏଠାରେ ଜ୍ଞାନୀମାନେ ଆତ୍ମାକୁ ‘ଅଜ’ ଓ ‘ଅବ୍ୟୟ’ ବୋଲି କହନ୍ତି। ସେମାନେ ପୁରୁଷକୁ ଅକ୍ଷୟ କହନ୍ତି; କାରଣ ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ତାହାର କେବେ କ୍ଷୟ ନାହିଁ।
