"Please teach us, father!" He told them also the same single syllable 'da', and asked them too, "Did you understand what I told you?" They, the men told, "Yep, we have. You told us to 'be charitable' ('datta'), isn't it?" "That is OK", he said, "you have got it

Next was the turn of the demons. When they too approached their father and asked him, "Please teach us", he told them also the same single syllable 'da'. "Have you understood it?", he asked them. They said, "Ya, we have. You told us to 'be merciful ('dayadhwam'); isn't it?" "That's OK", he said, "you have grasped it!"

jananī pṛthivī kāmadughāste
janako devaḥ sakaladayāluḥ
dāmyata datta dayadhvaṁ janatāḥ
śreyo bhūyāt sakalajananām

maitrīm bhajata akhilahṛjjetrīm
ātmavadeva parānapi paśyata
yuddham tyajata spardhāṁ tyajata
tyajata pareṣu akramamākramaṇam

जननी पृथिवी कामदुघास्ते
जनको देवः सकलदयालुः
दाम्यत दत्त दयध्वं जनताः
श्रेयो भूयात् सकलजननाम्।

मैत्रीम् भजत अखिलहृज्जेत्रीम्
आत्मवदेव परानपि पश्यत
युद्धम् त्यजत स्पर्धां त्यजत
त्यजत परेषु अक्रममाक्रमणम्

"Maithrim bajatha akhilajjetrim;aathmavaeva paranapi pasyatha;
yuddam dyajatha;sparda dyajatha;
dyajatha pareshwa kramakramanam;
janani pruthivi kama dukkasthe;
janako devaha sahala dayaalam;
dhamyatha daththa dayadva jantha;
shreyo bhooyam sakala jananaam"
