He is said to be foolish-headed in this world who is desirous of an object hard to gain without knowing his own strength, without employing adequate means for it and the object if gained securing him neither merit in heaven nor profit in this world.
आत्मनो बलमज्ञाय धर्मार्थपरिवर्जितम्। अलभ्यमिच्छन् नैष्कर्म्यान्मूढबुद्धिरिहोच्यते॥
