Without manliness, no act in this world becomes successful. An active and clever man however, who, having bowed down to the celestials, seeks to achieve his object, is never lost.
हीनं पुरुषकारेण कर्म त्विह न सिद्ध्यति। दैवतेभ्यो नमस्कृत्य यस्त्वर्थान् सम्यगीहते॥ दक्षो दाक्षिण्यसम्पन्नो न स मोधैर्विहन्यते।
