Led by the will of God, a man acts like a wooden doll moved about by a thread. Seeing the sufferings of the son of Pandu I think that the ordinations of the gods have greater force than the exertions of man.
परप्रयुक्तः पुरुषो विचेष्टते सूत्रप्रोता दारुमयीव योषा। इमं दृष्ट्वा नियमं पाण्डवस्य मन्ये परं कर्म दैवं मनुष्यात्॥
