तस्यै तपो दमः कर्मेति प्रतिष्ठा वेदाः सर्वाङ्गानि सत्यमायतनम्
tasyai tapo damaḥ karmeti pratiṣṭhā vedāḥ sarvāṅgāni satyamāyatanam
The Upanishad-knowledge does not stand on insight alone. It rests on three pillars: tapas (the heat of sustained discipline), dama (self-mastery in the moment), karma (right action). Its limbs are the entire Vedic learning. Its home is truthfulness.
अर्थMeaning

उसकी प्रतिष्ठा हैं — तप, दम, और कर्म। आदत और परिणाम एक चक्र बनाते हैं: जो बार-बार किया जाता है, वह अगली प्रवृत्ति को मजबूत करता है। यह पंक्ति कर्म को उसी चक्र के रूप में देखती है, भाग्य के आकस्मिक प्रहार के रूप में नहीं।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
