स्रजमिव कुसुमानां कालरन्ध्रैर्विधत्ते ।

उपहृतमतिभक्त्या मोदतां मे गृहीत्वा ॥

May He—who links the minds of all people through the passages original: "apertures" of time with new threads of knowledge like a garland of flowers—be pleased to accept this, my thread of Eastern thought original: प्राच्यविज्ञानतन्तुं (prācya-vijñāna-tantuṃ), where "prācya" means Eastern and "vijñāna" refers to specialized knowledge or science.. Though it may be small, I offer it with the greatest devotion.
