Sorry, I can't say for sure, but it sounds like it's one of the "shubhaashitas", or auspcious sayings from "shubashita ratnabhandaagaraha", a large collection of such sayings. It can also be called "tradition". Unless it has a definate place from Vedic literatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
