मातरं पितरं गुरुम्

स्वाधीनं समतिक्रम्य मातरं पितरं गुरुम् ।
अस्वाधीनं कथं दैवं प्रकारैरभिराध्यते ॥

svAdhInaM samatikramya mAtaraM pitaraM gurum ।
asvAdhInaM kathaM daivaM prakAraiH abhirAdhyate ॥

Mother, father and teacher are the Gods that we see. What kind of religion is that which tells us to forget them and go behind Gods that we do not see?
