Simple

daṇḍo damayatām asmi
nītir asmi jigīṣatām
maunaṁ caivāsmi guhyānāṁ
jñānaṁ jñānavatām aham

‘Of punishers, I am the Punishment (or the Rod);
of aspirants for success, I am Polity; and of secrets, I am Taciturnity; and of the wise, Wisdom.’

I am the Punishment of those who punish infringement of law. Of those who seek to succeed (in debate or conflict) I am the means of success, viz – Polity.

Of matters connected with secrecy, I am Silence; and also I am the Wisdom of the wise.
