Sanskrit Original
न मृषा॑ श्रा॒न्तं यदव॑न्ति दे॒वा विश्वा॒ इत्स्पृधो॑ अ॒भ्य॑श्नवाव । जया॒वेदत्र॑ श॒तनी॑थमा॒जिं यत्स॒म्यञ्चा॑ मिथु॒नाव॒भ्यजा॑व
na mṛṣā śrāntaṃ yadavanti devā viśvā itspṛdho abhyaśnavāva jayāvedatra śatanīthamājiṃ yatsamyañcā mithunāvabhyajāva
The gods do not deceive the weary: all were shared and greedily devoured. Let this one live many years; what they joined in union they separated not.
(Agastya): Penance has not been practised in vain; since the gods protect us, we may indulge all our desires; in this world we may triumph in many conflicts, if we exert ourselves mutually together.
Non inutilis est labor cui Dii favent: nos omnes aemulos et aemulas vincamus. Superemus in hac centum artium pugna in qua duas partes convenientes utrinque commovemus.
