SaainttulyaM tpao naaist taoYaanna prmaM sauKma\ a
naaist tRYNaaprao vyaaiQana- ca Qamaao- dyaapr: aa

Explanation
There is no achievement like peace (the word tapa is probably used here to emphasize hard effort required to keep your mind peaceful). There is no happiness like satisfaction, there is no disease like desire, and there is no
dharma like mercy.
