Devanagari script

संस्कृतस्य हि दान्तस्य नियतस्य यतात्मन: । प्राज्ञस्यानन्तरा सिद्धिरिहलोके परत्र च

Translation

Ang taong ang mga samskāra ayon sa Veda ay naisagawa nang wasto, na namumuhay sa disiplina, may pagpipigil-sa-sarili, at nagtagumpay na sa pagdaig sa isip at mga pandama—ang marunong na iyon ay hindi magtatagal at makakamtan ang kaganapan, sa daigdig na ito at sa kabilang-buhay.
