oṣṭhāviva madhvāsne vadantā stanāviva pipyataṃ jīvasenaḥ | nāseva nastanvo rakṣitārā karṇāviva suśrutā bhūtamasme

Even as two lips that with the mouth speak honey, even as two breasts that nourish our existence, Like the two nostrils that protect our being, be to us as our ears that hear distinctly.
