मा कुरु धनजनयौवनगर्वं हरति निमेषात्कालः सर्वम्। मायामयमिदमखिलं हित्वा ब्रह्मपदं त्वं प्रविश विदित्वा॥ Transliteration: mā kuru dhanajanayauvanagarvaṃ harati nimeṣātkālaḥ sarvam। māyāmayamidamakhilaṃ hitvā brahmapadaṃ tvaṃ praviśa viditvā॥ English Translation: Don’t be proud of wealth, people or youth; time takes them away in a minute. Forgo all this illusion and enter the state of Brahman after knowing this.​ Hindi Translation: धन, जन, और यौवन पर घमण्ड मत करो; काल इन्हें पल में छीन लेता है। इस माया को छोड़ कर इस ज्ञान से ब्रह्मपद में प्रवेश करो।
