[Kalpana Muzumdar]

कान्तारं न यथेतरो ज्वलयितुं दक्षो दवाग्निं विना

दावाग्निं न यथा परः शमयितुं शक्तो विनाम्भोधरं । 
निष्णातः पवनं विना निरसितुं नान्यो यथाम्भोधरं

कर्मौघं सुकृतं विना किमपरं हन्तुं समर्थं तथा ।।

kāntāraṃ na yathetaro jvalayituṃ dakṣo davāgniṃ vinā
dāvāgniṃ na yathā paraḥ śamayituṃ śakto vināmbhodharaṃ |
niṣṇātaḥ pavanaṃ vinā nirasituṃ nānyo yathāmbhodharaṃ
karmaughaṃ sukṛtaṃ vinā kimaparaṃ hantuṃ samarthaṃ tathā ||
Just as none else than a forest fire can burn a forest, none else than a rain-cloud can put out the forest fire and none else than the wind can displace the rain-cloud, none else can annihilate the mass of accumulated Karma than meritorious actions.
