Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

ગુજરાતીગીતશાસ્ત્ર ૧૪૧:૫
જો કોઈ ન્યાયી માણસ મને ફટકા મારે; તો હું તે કૃપા સમજીશ. તે મને સુધારે; તો તે મારા માથા પર ચોળેલા તેલ જેવો થશે; મારું માથું તેનો નકાર નહિ કરે. પણ દુષ્ટ લોકોનાં કર્મોની વિરુદ્ધ હું પ્રાર્થના કર્યા કરીશ.
हिन्दीभजन संहिता १४१:५
धर्मी मुझ को मारे तो यह करुणा मानी जाएगी, और वह मुझे ताड़ना दे, तो यह मेरे सिर पर का तेल ठहरेगा; मेरा सिर उससे इन्कार न करेगा। दुष्ट लोगों के बुरे कामों के विरुद्ध मैं निरन्तर प्रार्थना करता रहूँगा।
