विद्यानां तपसाञ्चैव संयमस्य यमस्य च ।
कृष्यां वाणिज्यलाभे च शान्तिं कुर्वन्तु मे सदा ॥
vidyānāṃ tapasāṃ caiva saṃyamasya yamasya ca |
kṛṣyāṃ vāṇijya-lābhe ca śāntiṃ kurvantu me sadā ||
Que elas sempre me tragam paz e bem-estar no estudo, nas austeridades, no autodomínio e na disciplina, e também na agricultura e nos ganhos do comércio.
