Sanskrit Text
यदि
स्यात्पुरुषः
कर्ता
शक्रात्मश्रेयसे
ध्रुवम्
।
आरम्भास्तस्य
सिध्येरन्न
च
जातु
पराभवेत्
॥
English Translation
If, O Shakra, the being known as person were really the actor, then all acts undertaken for his own benefit would certainly be successful. None of those acts would be futile. Persons struggling their utmost to avoid what is not desired and to bring about what is desired are not to be seen. What becomes then of personal exertion?
