In most of the cases, the Creator Brahma is reluctant to assemble all the good qualities in one place (person). (The idea is even the best of men will have a few failings).

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: कॊ ।आUा वॆद क।इह ूवॊचत ् कुत ।आअजाता कुत ।इयं िवसृि \: । 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? इयं िवसृि\यत ।आबभूव यिद वा दधॆ यिद वा न ।

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. 22.8k Views · View Upvoters Upvote 24

िधयो॒ यो नः॑ ूचो॒ दया॑त ्॥ 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. Benefits1. 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.

NB: "Sarala" means both straight and simple/innocent in Sanskrit. Theme: In this world one needs to be smart and clever, to protect self from crooked elements. B. 1. Ashakta Tashqarah sadhu, 2. Kurupa cha patvrata, 3. Roginah devata bhaktah, 4. Vriddha vaishya tapaswini. Tr: 1. Week crook becomes saint 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". C. 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, liberal, democratic, atheist values 3000 years before Christ!!!)

“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)
