Nice way o start the new year! सिद्धिर्भवति कर्मजा
The logo of IIT Madras contains as usual in many logos a piece of Sanskrit "shlok". There are two instances related as described below:
1. I always wondered what it meant and which book it must have been referred to? [About 3 decades back, finally while graduating from NainiTal, we came to know about the correct meaning of the logo of Kumaun university (सर्वं ज्ञाने परिसमाप्यते ).] This is probably adapted from Chapter 4, shloka 33:
"श्रेयान्द्रव्यमयाद्यज्ञाज्ज्ञानयज्ञः परन्तप ।
सर्वं कर्माखिलं पार्थ ज्ञाने परिसमाप्यते"
सर्वं कर्माखिलं पार्थ ज्ञाने परिसमाप्यते"
[ref: https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/4/verse/33/hi]
2. In 2000 when my father in-law visited us at Chennai- he had promptly expressed that 'this is the 12th shloka of 4th addyaay of Bhagwat Gita. ' Wow! Mr. Pandey was well versed with Gita and similarly other religious books of his time.
कांक्षन्तः कर्मणां सिद्धिं यजन्ते इह देवताः |
क्षिप्रं ही मानुषे लोके सिद्धिर्भवति कर्मजा || १२|| (४)|| IIT Madras logo (at bottom portion) has this : सिद्धिर्भवति कर्मजा . You can see it at www.iitm.ac.in.
I see the meaning of this similar to this one:
कर्मनेवाधिकरास्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन
मा कर्मफल हेतुर्भुर्मा, ते सन्गोत्सवकर्मनि|
मा कर्मफल हेतुर्भुर्मा, ते सन्गोत्सवकर्मनि|
