ChU 7.14.1

आशा वाव स्मराद् भूयसी । आशेद्धो वै स्मरो मन्त्रान् अधीते कर्माणि कुरुते पुत्रांश् च पशूंश् चेच्छत इमं च लोकं अमुं चेच्छते । आशाम् उपास्स्वेति

āśā vāva smarād bhūyasī | āśeddho vai smaro mantrān adhīte karmāṇi kurute putrāṃś ca paśūṃś cecchata imaṃ ca lokaṃ amuṃ cecchate | āśām upāssveti

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

'Hope (âsâ) is better than memory. Fired by hope does memory read the sacred hymns, perform sacrifices, desire sons and cattle, desire this world and the other. Meditate on hope.

Translated by F. Max Müller
