amantram aksharam nasti nasti mulamanaushadham |
ayogyah purusho nasti yojakastatra durlabhah ||

अमंत्रम्  अक्षरं नास्ति नास्ति मूलमनौषधम् |
अयोग्यः पुरुषो नास्ति  योजकस्तत्र दुर्लभः ||

There’s not a single word that can’t
Become a sacred word to chant.
There’s not a root that isn’t meant
To be a healing ointment.
There's not a person that can be
A useless one, a nobody.
But rare indeed is one who brings
Together all these different things.

ko hi bharah samarthanam kim duram vyavasayinam |
ko videshah suvidyanam kah parah priyavadinam ||

को  हि  भारः समर्थानां  किं  दूरं  व्यवसायिनाम्  |
को  विदेशः सुविद्यानां  कः  परः  प्रियवादिनाम्  ||

What is a burden for those who are clever?
What is too distant for those who endeavor?
Where is too foreign for well-rounded folk?
Who is a stranger to people who joke?

udyamena hi sidhyanti karyani na manorathaih |
na hi suptasya sinhasya pravishanti mukhe mrigah ||

उद्यमेन हि सिध्यन्ति कार्याणि न मनोरथैः |
न हि सुप्तस्य सिंहस्य प्रविशन्ति मुखे मृगाः ||

To succeed you must try and try
And not just dream and wish and sigh.
A lion's prey won't go exploring
Within his mouth while he is snoring.
