अद्य मे कुशलं देव अद्य मे कुशलं व्रतम्। अद्य मे सफलं जन्म अद्य मे सफलं तपः॥ यत्ते देवगणैर्वन्द्यौ वन्देऽहं चरणौ तव। इदं राज्यमिमे पुत्रा इमे दारा इमे वयम्। ब्रह्मन्कि कुर्मः किं कार्यमाज्ञापयतु नो भवान् ॥
adya me kuśalaṃ deva adya me kuśalaṃ vratam| adya me saphalaṃ janma adya me saphalaṃ tapaḥ|| yatte devagaṇairvandyau vande'haṃ caraṇau tava| idaṃ rājyamime putrā ime dārā ime vayam| brahmanki kurmaḥ kiṃ kāryamājñāpayatu no bhavān ||
English Meaning
Today have I obtained all auspiciousness, O lord; today has my religious observance been fruitful; today has my birth proved blessed and today has my devout penance been crowned with success, for I bow to your feet, which have been worshipped by the celestials. This my kingdom, these my sons, this my wife and myself are all at your disposal do you order me, O Brahmaņa, what I may do for you.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
