As this is true, so may I always have the power of taking away the sorrow of the world, And bringing happiness to it, as the sun always brings the light and drives away the darkness." - [Previous: v2.c19.s6.t3.111](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t3.111) - [Next: v2.c19.s6.t3.113](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t3.113) - [Up: v2.c19.s6.t3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t3.112](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t3.112) · Pramāṇa
