anavaptam avaptavyam na te kinchana vidyate
lok-anugraha ev-aiko hetus te janmakarmanoh

लोकानुग्रह एवैको हेतुस्ते जन्मकर्मणोः ॥
There is nothing left for you to gain that you have not already gained. Your only reason for being born and acting in the world is to bless and help it.
What it means
The gods say this to Vishnu before he is born as Rama. It is also a beautiful ideal for us: once our needs are met, the best reason to keep working is simply to make life better for others.हिंदी में अर्थ
आपके लिए ऐसा कुछ नहीं जो पाना बाकी हो। आपके जन्म और कर्मों का एकमात्र कारण संसार पर कृपा करना है।
देवता यह बात राम रूप में जन्म से पहले विष्णु से कहते हैं। यह हमारे लिए भी सुंदर आदर्श है: जब अपनी ज़रूरतें पूरी हो जाएँ, तो काम करते रहने का सबसे अच्छा कारण दूसरों का जीवन बेहतर बनाना है।
Spoken by Kālidāsa.
