Arrange the voices that speak to you

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

I am the punishment of the punishers; I am the political wisdom of those seeking victory; I am also the silence of the secret ones; I am the knowledge of the knowers.

Shri Purohit Swami

I am the Sceptre of rulers, the Strategy of the conquerors, the Silence of mystery, the Wisdom of the wise.

Swami Adidevananda

Of those that punish, I am the principle of punishment. Of these that seek victory, I am policy. Of secrets, I am also silence. And of those who are wise, I am wisdom.

Swami Gambirananda

Of the punishers I am the rod; I am the righteous policy of those who desire to conquer. And of things secret, I am verily silence; I am knowledge of the men of knowledge৷৷

Swami Sivananda

Among the punishers I am the sceptre; among those who seek victory I am statesmanship; and also among secrets I am silence; knowledge among knowers I am.
