Nabhisheko Na Samskarah — Complete Lyrics
नाभिषेको न संस्कारः
Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation
नाभिषेको न संस्कारः सिंहस्य क्रियते वने।
विक्रमार्जितसत्त्वस्य स्वयमेव मृगेन्द्रता॥
nābhiṣeko na saṁskāraḥ siṁhasya kriyate vane।
vikramārjita-sattvasya svayam eva mṛgendratā॥
No coronation is performed for the lion in the forest, nor any ceremonial rite; for one whose strength is won by valour, the kingship of beasts comes of its own accord. The verse teaches that true greatness needs no formal appointment — merit and prowess make one a leader naturally, just as the lion reigns without any crowning.
