तदेतत् तु मया कार्य क्रियते भुवि नान्यथा। पितुर्हि वचनं कुर्वन् न कश्चिन्नाम हीयते॥
tadetat tu mayā kārya kriyate bhuvi nānyathā| piturhi vacanaṃ kurvan na kaścinnāma hīyate||
English Meaning
I am simply treading the path, that has been upheld and followed by worthies gone before. Surely shall I accomplish that which is worthy of being performed in this world and nothing else, one going by his father's behest's is not certainly degraded."
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
