सत्यं ज्ञानमनन्तं ब्रह्म, निर्गुणं निर्विकल्पं निराकारम्।<br>अद्वैत तत्वं परम सत्यं, शान्तिं ददाति वेद स्वरूपम्॥

Satyam jnanam anantam brahma, nirgunam nirvikalpam nirakaram.<br>Advaita tattvam param satyam, shantim dadati veda swaroopam.

Na jayate mriyate va kadachin, nityam sarvagatam mahashunyam.<br>Atma satyam jagan mithya, Shivoham iti bodha satyam.
