Shri Purohit Swami

इसलिये तुम युद्धके लिये खड़े हो जाओ और यशको प्राप्त करो तथा शत्रुओंको जीतकर धन-धान्यसे सम्पन्न राज्यको भोगो। ये सभी मेरे द्वारा पहलेसे ही मारे हुए हैं। हे सव्यसाचिन् !  तुम निमित्तमात्र बन जाओ।

Swami Ramsukhdas

इसलिए तुम उठ खड़े हो जाओ और यश को प्राप्त करो; शत्रुओं को जीतकर समृद्ध राज्य को भोगो। ये सब पहले से ही मेरे द्वारा मारे जा चुके हैं। हे सव्यसाचिन्! तुम केवल निमित्त ही बनो।

Swami Tejomayananda
