इदं स्वस्त्ययनं श्रेष्ठम् इदं बुद्धिविवर्धनम् । इदं यशस्यम् आयुष्यम् इदं निःश्रेयसं परम् ॥ [म्। इदं यशस्यं सततम्]
idaṃ svastyayanaṃ śreṣṭham idaṃ buddhivivardhanam | idaṃ yaśasyam āyuṣyam idaṃ niḥśreyasaṃ param || [M. idaṃ yaśasyaṃ satatam]
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
(To study) this (work) is the best means of securing welfare, it increases understanding, it procures fame and long life, it (leads to) supreme bliss.
Translated by Georg Bühler
