Amal achal man tron samana
Chaupai 5, Under Doha 80 · Lanka Kand
Chaupai Text
अमल अचल मन त्रोन समाना। सम जम नियम सिलीमुख नाना॥ कवच अभेद बिप्र गुर पूजा। एहि सम बिजय उपाय न दूजा॥ ५ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
amala acala mana trona samānā। sama jama niyama silīmukha nānā॥ kavaca abheda bipra guru pūjā। ehi sama bijaya upāya na dūjā॥ 5 ॥
Meaning
A pure and steadfast mind is like a quiver. Self-control, the moral restraints, and observances are the many arrows within it. Worship of the Brahmins and the guru is an impenetrable armor. There is no other path to victory like this.
