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". 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 ).]
In 2000 when my father in-law visited us at Chennai- he was quick to express that fact that this is the 12th shlok of 4th addyaay of Bhagwat Gita! Wow- you know where it comes from. 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|
