Transliteration
íṣkṛtir nā́ma vo mātā́tho yūyáṁ stha níṣkṛtīḥ | sīrā́ḥ patatríṇīḥ sthana yád ā́mayati níṣkṛtha ||
Translation
‘ఇష్కృతి’ అనే పేరుతో మీ తల్లి చెప్పబడింది; మీరు ‘నిష్కృతులు’—విమోచన/విడుదల శక్తులు. మీరు వేగంగా, రెక్కలున్నవారిలా సాగండి; ఏది వ్యాధిగా బాధ కలిగిస్తుందో, దానిని లాగి బయటకు తీసి దూరంగా పారవేయండి.
