मन्त्र   mantra - Ruddigore

Shall I tell you one of poor Mad Margaret's odd thoughts? Well, then, when I am lying awake at night, and the pale moonlight streams through the latticed casement, strange fancies crowd upon my poor mad brain, and I sometimes think that if we could hit upon some word for you to use whenever I am about to relapse – some word that teems with hidden meaning – like "Basingstoke" – it might recall me to my saner self.

धर्म   dharma - Ruddigore

Duty! Duty must be done

The rule applies to everyone

And painful though that duty be

to shirk the task were fiddle-dee dee!

तुला tulaa (balance) -Trial by Jury

O'er the season vernal, time may cast a shade,

Sunshine if eternal, makes the roses fade!

Time may do his duty: let the thief alone--Winter hath a beauty that is all its his own.

Fairest days are sun and shade

I am no unhappy maid!

चारित्र charitra - Charity
