శుచిః భూమిగతం తొయం శుచిః నారీ పతివ్రతా |
శుచిః క్షేమకరో రాజా సంతోషీ బ్రాహ్మణః శుచిః ||
शुचि र्भूमिगतं तोयं शुचि र्नारी पतिव्रता ।
शुचिः क्षेमकरो राजा सन्तोषी ब्राह्मणः शुचिः ॥
Holy and purifying is the water underground. Woman, devoted to her husband is holy.
King, who protects is a purifier; and a contended & happy brahmaNa is holy.

ఈశ్వరేచ్చ
भ्रमन्वनान्ते नवमञ्जरीषु
न षट्पदो गन्धफलीमजिघ्रत् ।
सा किं न रम्या स च किं न रन्ता
बलीयसी केवलमीश्वरेच्छा ॥
వనంలో కొత్త లతల మధ్యలో సంచరిస్తున్న తుమ్మెద పక్కనే ఉన్న సంపెంగ ను ఆఘ్రాణించలేదు. ఆ పుష్పం రమ్యమైనది కాదా? లేక తుమ్మెదకు పుష్పం లో రమించడం తెలియదా? (రెండూ కాదు) కేవలం ఈశ్వరేచ్చ బలీయమైనది.
bhraman vanAntE nava-manjarIshu
na shaTpadH gandha-phalIm ajighrat
sA kim na ramyA sa ca kim na rantA
balIyasI kEvalm IsvarEcchA
A bee roaming in the garden with lot of new flower creepers,
it did not smell the best smelling sampangi flower;
Is that flower is not enjoyable? Nor the bee do not know to enjoy?
(NO) most powerful is the wish of Iswara!

స్వభావము - ప్రకృతి
काकः पद्मवने रतिं न कुरुते हंसो न कूपोदके ।
मूर्खः पण्डितसङ्गमे न रमते दासो न सिंहासने ।
दुष्टः सज्जनसङ्गमं न सहते नीचं जनं सेवते ।
या यस्य प्रकृतिः स्वभावजनिता केनापि न त्यज्यते ॥
व्याघ्रः सेवति काननं च गहनं सिंहो गुहां सेवते
हंसः सेवति पद्मिनीं कुसुमितां गृधः श्मशानस्थलीम् ।
साधुः सेवति साधुमेव सततं नीचोऽपि नीचं जनम्
या यस्य प्रकृतिः स्वभावजनिता केनापि न त्यज्यते ॥
1. A crow do not enjoy in the garden of lotus ponds; A swan can't enjoy in a small pit of water. A fool will not enjoy the company of wise; a servant can't hold the throne of a leader. Wicked one can't bear pious people and works for wicked only. Each one follows the character as per their own nature and hardly give up on "prakRti"
2. A tiger enjoys in the deep forest, a lion enjoys the cave, a swan enjoys on the lotus flowers, a hawk enjoys in the burial ground. People with soft nature enjoy in the company of soft people and wicked enjoy among wicked. Each one follows the character as per their own nature and hardly can give up on "prakRti"
yA yasya prakRtiH svabhAva janitA kEnApi na tyajatE - Above two verses show the difficulty of giving up one's own nature. Everyone thus should focus on building right character considering the fact!

క్రియాసిద్ధిః సత్త్వే భవతి
विजेतव्या लङ्का चरणतरणीयो जलनिधिः ।
विपक्षः पौलस्त्यो रणभुवि सहायाश्च कपयः ।
तथाप्येको रामः सकलमवधीद्राक्षसकुलं ।
क्रियासिद्धिः सत्त्वे भवति महतां नोपकरणे ॥
रथस्यैकं चक्रं भुजगयमिताः सप्ततुरगाः ।
निरालंबो मार्गश्चरणविकलो सारथिरपि।
रविर्यात्यंतं प्रतिदिनमपारस्य नभसः ।
क्रियासिद्धिः सत्त्वे भवति महतां नोपकरणे॥
घटो जन्मस्थानं मृगपरिजनो भूर्जवसनं ।
वने वासः कन्दैरशनमपि दुःस्थं वपुरिदम् ।
अगस्त्यः पायोधिं यदकृत करांभोजकुहरे ।
क्रियासिद्धिः सत्त्वे भवति महतां नोपकरणे ॥
Above three samskruta subhAshita gives three examples of how accomplishment of task depends on the inner strength irrespective of how weak the environmental support one has.
1. what has to be conquered is Lanka, Ocean has to be crossed by foot, opponent is the great son of pulastya, the army is only monkeys; even then the RAMA, single handed won over the mighty rAkshasas.
2. The chariot has only one wheel, seven horses are tied to it by snakes, the path is sky without any directions, the driver has no legs; even then the SUN traverses the horizon every day.
3. Birth place is a pot (a test tube!), followers are animals, dress is made up of bark of birch plant, living place is forest, eats only bulbous roots, body is short; even then sage agasthya was able to take the water form all the oceans in his palm.
"kriyAsiddhiH sattvE bhavati mahatAm nOpakaraNE"
Hence, the accomplishment of great people depends purely on their innate strength and not on the helping tools or support from outside.

1. Early in the morning, I think of one who removes the fear of world, lord of gods, who holds river ganga in in locks, rides the ox, husband of divine mother, holds khatvAnga, SUla, varada and abhaya mudras in hands, Isa i.e lord - The medicine to cure the disease of samsAra! who has no second!!
2. Early in the morning I bow down to the dweller of mountains having half of body occupied by the daughter of mountain who is the cause of beginning, middle and the end; Originator, Lord, conqueror of the universe; The medicine to cure the disease of samsAra! who has no second!!
3. Early in the morning I sing about auspiciousness, one, having no end or beginning, only known through the upanishads vEdAnta, sinless, the mightiest being, who has no distinctions by the means of names or forms, who is devoid of six transformations of (birth, growth, sustenance, disease, decay and death); The medicine to cure the disease of samsAra! who has no second!!
Having woken up early, thinking of Siva, WHO recites the above three verses every day; THEY get rid of misery collected over multiple lifespans, attain THAT ultimate abode of auspiciousness of Sambhu.
