कच्चित्ते निर्जिता विघ्नाः कच्चिते वर्धते तपः। कच्चित्ते नियतः कोप आहारश्च तपोधने॥ कच्चित्ते नियमाः प्राप्ताः कच्चित्ते मनसः सुखम्। कच्चित्ते गुरुशुश्रूषा सफला चारुभाषिणि ॥ ततो रामः
kaccitte nirjitā vighnāḥ kaccite vardhate tapaḥ| kaccitte niyataḥ kopa āhāraśca tapodhane|| kaccitte niyamāḥ prāptāḥ kaccitte manasaḥ sukham| kaccitte guruśuśrūṣā saphalā cārubhāṣiṇi || tato rāmaḥ
English Meaning
O you of sweet accents, have you got all hindrances to asceticism removed? Is your asceticism growing stronger every day? O you having asceticism for your wealth, have you restricted your anger and fare? Have you observed the commandments and attained to mental felicity? Have your attendance upon your spiritual guide born fruits?
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
