That golden glowing discipline of life which the sages
of holy life and enlightened mind hold, observe and prescribe for a life of
hundredfold efficiency, I confer on you with commitment for a full age of
hundred years of good health, strength of body and mind, honour and lustre.

Yo bibharti dåkså- yanam hiranyam sa jivesu krnute dirghamåyuh.
That golden glow of discipline, demons and ogres
cannot violate, nor can they challenge it. It is the splendour of divines,
first born of Mother Nature. One who commands this golden discipline of life
and living with efficiency and success lives a long life among humanity.

Just as Indra, the
soul, bears and commands the
senses and mind with self-control, so do we help this
young man to bear and preserve the glow of nature’s fluid energies, light of
life and vigour and vitality of all the herbal essences since he
conscientiously holds on to the golden discipline of continence in daily
living.
