Transliteration
samyák sravanti saríto ná dhenā antár hṛdā́ mánasā pūyámānāḥ | eté arṣanty ū́rmayo ghṛtásya mṛgā́ iva kṣipaṇór ī́ṣamāṇāḥ ||
Translation
అవి నదులవలె సరిగా, నేరుగా ప్రవహిస్తాయి; ధేనువులవలె—హృదయం, మనస్సు అంతరంలో శుద్ధి చెందుతూ. ఇవి ఘృత ఊర్ములు; అవి ఉప్పొంగుతాయి—వేగంగా ముందుకు దూసుకెళ్లే జింకలవలె, తమ ఉత్సాహంలో తోసుకుంటూ.
