I can not think of any other quote in Sanskrit this short and yet so deeply
profound:
तत ् वम ् अिस।
And yet, I find the following verse of the Nasadiya Sukta deeply intriguing:

अवाbदॆ वा ।आःय िवसजनॆनाथाकॊ वॆद यत ।आबभूव ॥६॥
But, after all, who knows, and who can say

Whence it all came, and how creation happened?
the gods themselves are later than creation,
so who knows truly whence it has arisen?

A person with sufficient knowledge of Sanskrit can probably come up with

innumerable lines, but I will quote what came to my mind as soon as I read the
question:
"कवयािम वयािम यािम" (Kavayaami, Vayaami, Yaami), the last the wordsof the
following poem:
का7यं करोिम न िह चा:तरं करोिम

यiात ् करोिम यिद चा:तरं करोिम।
भूपालमौिलमिणमिणडतपादपीठ हे
भोजराज कवयािम वयािम यािम।।
(Meaning: “I compose poetry but not very well. If I make an effort I may be able
to improve. O Bhoja, whose footrest is encrusted with jewels from the crowns of
kings, I compose poetry, I weave and, with your permission, I am going)
This verse, quoted by a weaver in the kingdom of King Bhoja, is an excellent

quote, whose beauty can be appreciated even by those who cannot understand
Sanskrit.

Spiritual view:
Gayatri Mantra is believed as one of the most powerful and supreme mantras in
Hindu religion. According to the teachers and preachers of Krishnamacharya
lineage, Gayatri is the Mother of all the Vedas and has the power of destroying
all sins. Reciting Gayatri mantra brings the same glory and result as the
recitation of all four Vedas together brings. Every word of the Gayatri mantra are
arranged in a specific manner to create a powerful force and impact on mind,
soul and body. The significance of Gayatri Mantra is way too difficult to be
analyzed by humans in fact it’s beyond the human reach. However, the power of
Gayatri mantra can be felt by only the individual who enchants it.
Techniques of reciting Gayatri Mantra
There are certain rules and guidelines that has to be followed while enchanting
the Gayatri mantra. It is highly recommended that a person who recites Gayatri
Mantra should always close his/her eyes trying to concentrate on every single
word that are recited or pronounced. However, you can recite Gayatri Mantra in
any part of the day, but the preachers assert that it’s beneficial if you start your
day by chanting the powerful Hindu Mantra and reciting the mantra at night
will relax your body and soul to give you an undisturbed sleep rejuvenating your
body and mind.
Benefits-
1. Calms your unstable mind
The eloquence of Gayatri Mantra improves the cognitive and intellectual level
washing away the sins and purifying your mind, body and soul. Enchanting this
mantra makes you feel relaxed thus increasing concentration power. The first
word of the mantra starts with Om. The pronunciation of this ‘Om’ word creates
a sound sending vibration through your lips, tongue, back of your throat and
skull, which calms down your mind releasing the relax hormones to make you
feel relaxed.
2. Improves concentration and learning power
People who enchant the Gayatri mantra gain remarkable concentration and
memory power. Because chanting this mantra creates vibration first activating
your three chakras that are third eye, throat and crown chakras. These chakras
help in improving concentration linking directly to the brain, penial gland, eyes,
sinuses, lower head, the pituitary gland and thyroid gland. The vibrations of
chanting this mantra stimulated the glands improving concentrating power,
learning power and focus.
3. Improves your breathing pattern
While reciting Gayatri mantra you need to take deep controlled breaths
repeating regularly which will improve the function of lungs and therefore
improving breathing. Breathing deeply also helps to transport oxygenated
blood to the entire body.

Enchanting this mantra remarkably relaxes a person’s breathing pattern that

helps in synchronizing and regularizing heart beats. Experts say that the
synchronized heart beating and functioning helps to keep your blood pressure
in control keeping heart diseases at bay.
Scientific view:
Dr.Howard Steingeril, an American scientist, collected #Mantras, #Hymns and

invocations from all over the world and tested their strength in his Physiology
Laboratory.
Gayathri Mantra produced 110,000 sound waves per second.
This was the highest and was found to be the most powerful hymn in the world.
Though the combination of sound or sound waves of a particular frequency, the
Mantra is claimed capable of developing specific spiritual potentialities.
The Hamburg university initiated research into the efficacy of the Gayathri
Mantra both on the mental and physical plane of CREATION...

2. Ugly woman is faithful too
3. Patients are devote to Gods
4. Old prostitute becomes a nun(female monk)
Theme:
1. A rogue when, becomes week/powerless, claims that he became a decent man.
2. An ugly looking woman, boasts about how faithful she is to her
husband.
3. Usually "disbelievers" and those who rarely give a damn about GOD, suddenly
become devotee, religious if they suffer from any fatal disease (or any such
traumatic incident).
4. After earning a life time worth, by promiscuous acts/prostitution, the woman
when loses her youth hence "market value", usually becomes
"spiritual/philanthropist".

Utsave vyasane cha eva, durbhkshe rashtra viplave,
Rajadware, smashanescha ya tisthati sa vandhava.
Tr:
During celebrations and troubles,
And also during famine or civil-war,
at the door of king or the funerals,
Who ever stays is the friend.
Theme:
A best buddy will never forget to give you birthday bump or to remind your wife
that you forgot your anniversary. If you have a cash crunch you can always look
at him. You can knock at his door in the middle of the riot. He is the one who
bails you out from eve teasing and signal break cases (without letting your dad
know). you don't have to let him know there is a funeral, he will be there already.
And now the coolest one by Charvaka (Arguably worlds first liberal
democratic and atheist philosopher.There are even claims that Charvaka
was a group of sweet speaking individuals who propagated western style,

Tr:
Be happy as long as you are alive,
Do consume ghee even if you have to borrow.
Body once turned to ash (cremated) will never be back.

Live life King size.
Life is once and none has seen tomorrow..So why care..just chill...get the cool

are all lies to trick people into poverty so that rich enjoys the riches of his

Shrinwantu vishwe amritasya putra

Arya dhamani divyani thasthu
From the Svetasvatara Upanishad.
Shrinwantu Vishwe Amritasya Putra- these verses tell us that humans are not
sinful creatures and can become immortal through their deeds, hence
amritasya putra… and to do so people have to embrace knowledge and and
consider everything in the universe as one; the path to enlightenment and
Brahma(everything).

Gayathri Ganesan, Tat Tvam Asi

Kirtan, actually Sanskrit as a medium of expression evolved enable vedic

documentation and dissemination.. And most of that content centers around
meta-physical and philosophical faculties related to life and spirit only.
So every sentence in Sanskrit which a commoner encounters today carry some

immense depth of thought when originated so is very valuable in a way or the
other for the entire humanity...
Few I could remember -
A) Guru bramha .......... [ This verse proves how a teacher has to be revered ]
B) Agyana thimirandasya ...... [ My respects to the spiritual master ]
C) Na chora haryam..... [ How knowledge/vidya becomes the more precious of

all wealths ]
D) Parithranaya Sadhunam... [ To restore rightful living, God expresses he will

take birth and correct deviations...Bhagavad Gita ]
E) Jathasyahi Druvo Mrthyuhu... [ Death follows Birth and Birth follows Death
and a saint will never bother about this.... Bhagavad Gita ]
F) Karmane vadhikarasthe... [ Do you Karma, Don't worry about the the fruits...

G) Ayathanavan Bhavathi... [ Very intresting sloka from Adharvana Veda. part of

These are some of the best lines I found in Sanskrit which explains the
importance of women.
1. vina sthreeya jananam naasthi
vina sthreeya gamanam naasthi
vina sthreeya jeevam naasthi
vina sthreeya shrushti yeva naasthi
meaning:
without women there is no birth in this world
without women there is no momentum in this world
without women there is no life in this world
without women there is no world.
2.yatra naariyasthu poojyante ramayante tatra devatha
meaning:
The place where women are worshiped is the place where gods reside
I got these lines from movies.

The meaning of these two slokas is:

Whenever there is decay of righteousness, O Bharata,
And there is exaltation of unrighteousness, then I Myself come forth ;
For the protection of the good, for the destruction of evil-doers,

For the sake of firmly establishing righteousness, I am born from age to age.

“Best written” can be interpreted in many ways. Many people seem to enjoy feel
good word play lines which when you look deeper are devoid of any
significance. One test for such lines is to write these lines in your mother tongue
and show them to others. If their reaction is “Duh!,” then you know you just have
a word play line. Late Sanskrit compositions are full of such meaningless word
play. (One example is given in the movie Anbe Sivam at time 1.57.04)
