Vidula Rebukes Her Son

Verse 1 (5.133.1)

अत्राप्युदाहरन्तीममितिहासं पुरातनम् । विदुलायाश्च संवादं पुत्रस्य च परन्तप ॥

atrāpyudāharantīmamitihāsaṃ purātanam | vidulāyāśca saṃvādaṃ putrasya ca parantapa

On this they also tell an ancient story, the dialogue between Vidula and her son, O scorcher of foes.

Verse 2 (5.133.2)

ततः श्रेयश्च भूयश्च यथावद्वक्तुमर्हसि । यशस्विनी मन्युमती कुले जाता विभावरी ॥

tataḥ śreyaśca bhūyaśca yathāvadvaktumarhasi | yaśasvinī manyumatī kule jātā vibhāvarī

From it you should tell him, as is fitting, what is better and greater still. Glorious, high-spirited, born in a noble family, fierce in her anger,

Verse 3 (5.133.3)

क्षत्रधर्मरता दान्ता विदुला दीर्घदर्शिनी । विश्रुता राजसंसत्सु श्रुतवाक्या बहुश्रुता ॥

kṣatradharmaratā dāntā vidulā dīrghadarśinī | viśrutā rājasaṃsatsu śrutavākyā bahuśrutā

devoted to the kshatriya's dharma, self-restrained and far-sighted was Vidula, renowned in the assemblies of kings, one who had heard much counsel and was deeply learned.

Verse 4 (5.133.4)

विदुला नाम राजन्या जगर्हे पुत्रमौरसम् । निर्जितं सिन्धुराजेन शयानं दीनचेतसम् ॥

vidulā nāma rājanyā jagarhe putramaurasam | nirjitaṃ sindhurājena śayānaṃ dīnacetasam

This noblewoman named Vidula reproached her own son, who had been defeated by the king of Sindhu and lay there, sunk in despair.

Note on the text: The critical edition's 5.131.4ab–cd (it reads vidurā nāma vai satyā in the first quarter); its third line, 5.131.4ef, appears in a variant form as the first line of the next verse.

Verse 5 (5.133.5)

अनन्दन मया जात द्विषतां हर्षवर्धन । न मया त्वं न पित्रा च जातः क्वाभ्यागतोह्यसि ॥

anandana mayā jāta dviṣatāṃ harṣavardhana | na mayā tvaṃ na pitrā ca jātaḥ kvābhyāgatohyasi

You give me no joy, though born of me; you only add to the delight of your enemies! You were not begotten by me, nor by your father. Where have you come from?

Note on the text: Line 1 is a variant of the critical edition's 5.131.4ef; line 2 is 5.131.5ab. From here to verse 7 each Wikisource verse joins the second half of one critical-edition verse to the first half of the next (Wikisource's own division).

Verse 6 (5.133.6)

निर्मन्युश्चाप्यसङ्ख्येयः पुरुषः क्लीबसाधनः । यावज्जीवं निराशोऽसि कल्याणाय धुरं वह ॥

nirmanyuścāpyasaṅkhyeyaḥ puruṣaḥ klībasādhanaḥ | yāvajjīvaṃ nirāśo'si kalyāṇāya dhuraṃ vaha

A man without spirit, not worth counting, with no more means than a eunuch, you will be without hope as long as you live. Take up the yoke for your own good.

Note on the text: Line 1 is the critical edition's 5.131.5cd (it reads nirmanyur upaśākhīyaḥ); line 2 is 5.131.6ab.

Verse 7 (5.133.7)

माऽऽत्मानमवमन्यस्व मैनमल्पेन बीभरः । मनः कृत्वा सुकल्याणं मा भैस्त्वं प्रतिसंहर ॥

mā''tmānamavamanyasva mainamalpena bībharaḥ | manaḥ kṛtvā sukalyāṇaṃ mā bhaistvaṃ pratisaṃhara

Do not despise yourself; do not keep yourself alive on so little. Make your mind resolute for what is good; do not be afraid, put away your fear.

Note on the text: The critical edition's 5.131.6cd–ef (it reads pratisaṃstabha for प्रतिसंहर).

Verse 8 (5.133.8)

उत्तिष्ठ हे कापुरुष मा शेष्वैवं पराजितः । अमित्रान्नन्दयन्सर्वान्निर्मानो बन्धुशोकदः ॥

uttiṣṭha he kāpuruṣa mā śeṣvaivaṃ parājitaḥ | amitrānnandayansarvānnirmāno bandhuśokadaḥ

Get up, coward! Do not lie like this in defeat, delighting all your enemies, stripped of honour, a grief to your kin.

Verse 9 (5.133.9)

सुपूरा वै कुनदिका सुपूरो मूषिकाञ्जलिः । सुसंतोषः कापुरुषः स्वल्पकेनैव तुष्यति ॥

supūrā vai kunadikā supūro mūṣikāñjaliḥ | susaṃtoṣaḥ kāpuruṣaḥ svalpakenaiva tuṣyati

A little stream is easily filled, a mouse's cupped paws are easily filled; a coward is easily satisfied and is pleased with the smallest thing.

Note on the text: Corrected मुषिकाञ्जलिः → मूषिकाञ्जलिः (misprint in Wikisource; the word is मूषिक "mouse", as the critical edition reads mūṣikāñjaliḥ).

Verse 10 (5.133.10)

अप्यहेरारुजन्दंष्ट्रामाश्वेव निधनं व्रज । अपि वा संशयं प्राप्य जीवितेऽपि पराक्रमेः ॥

apyaherārujandaṃṣṭrāmāśveva nidhanaṃ vraja | api vā saṃśayaṃ prāpya jīvite'pi parākrameḥ

Go swiftly to your death, if you must, breaking the fangs of a serpent; or, even when your life is in danger, show your valour.

Verse 11 (5.133.11)

अप्यरेः श्येनवच्छिद्रं पश्येस्त्वं विपरिक्रमन् । विवदन्वाऽथवा तूष्णीं व्योम्नीवापरिशङ्कितः ॥

apyareḥ śyenavacchidraṃ paśyestvaṃ viparikraman | vivadanvā'thavā tūṣṇīṃ vyomnīvāpariśaṅkitaḥ

Like a hawk circling fearlessly in the sky, watch for your enemy's weak point, whether you voice your plans or keep silent.

Verse 12 (5.133.12)

त्वमेवं प्रेतवच्छेषे कस्माद्वज्रहतो यथा । उत्तिष्ठ हे कापुरुष मा स्वाप्सीः शत्रुनिर्जितः ॥

tvamevaṃ pretavaccheṣe kasmādvajrahato yathā | uttiṣṭha he kāpuruṣa mā svāpsīḥ śatrunirjitaḥ

Why do you lie like this, like a corpse, like one struck by a thunderbolt? Get up, coward! Do not sleep, conquered by your enemy.

Verse 13 (5.133.13)

माऽस्तं गमस्त्वं कृपणो विश्रूयस्व स्वकर्मणा । मा मध्ये मा जघन्ये त्वं माऽधो भूस्तिष्ठ गर्जितः ॥

mā'staṃ gamastvaṃ kṛpaṇo viśrūyasva svakarmaṇā | mā madhye mā jaghanye tvaṃ mā'dho bhūstiṣṭha garjitaḥ

Do not sink out of sight in misery; make yourself famous by your own deeds. Do not stay in the middle, do not stay low, do not fall to the bottom; stand up and roar.

Note on the text: Removed a stray space inside विश्रूयस्व ("become famous"; the critical edition reads viśrūyasva).

Verse 14 (5.133.14)

अलातं तिन्दुकस्येव मुहूर्तमपि हि ज्वल । मा तुषाग्निरिवानर्चिर्धूमायस्व जिजीविषुः ॥

alātaṃ tindukasyeva muhūrtamapi hi jvala | mā tuṣāgnirivānarcirdhūmāyasva jijīviṣuḥ

Blaze up, even for a moment, like a torch of tinduka wood; do not smoulder like a flameless fire of chaff, merely longing to live.

Note on the text: The critical edition's 5.131.13ab–cd (it reads kākaraṅkhā for धूमायस्व).

Verse 15 (5.133.15)

मुहूर्तं ज्वलितं श्रेयो न च धूमायितं चिरम् । मा ह स्म कस्यचिद्गेहे जनी राज्ञः खरीमृदुः ॥

muhūrtaṃ jvalitaṃ śreyo na ca dhūmāyitaṃ ciram | mā ha sma kasyacidgehe janī rājñaḥ kharīmṛduḥ

Better to blaze for a moment than to smoke for long. May no son be born in any king's house as soft as a she-ass.

Note on the text: Line 1 is the critical edition's 5.131.13ef; line 2 is 5.131.14ab. From here to verse 16 Wikisource's verses straddle two critical-edition verses. Corrected स्वरीमृदुः → खरीमृदुः (misprint in Wikisource; स्व for ख, the critical edition reads kharīmṛduḥ, and the commentary glosses it as गर्दभीव मृदुः).

Verse 16 (5.133.16)

कृत्वा मानुष्यकं कर्म सृत्वाऽऽजिं यावदुत्तमम् । धर्मस्यानृण्यमाप्नोति न चात्मानं विगर्हते ॥

kṛtvā mānuṣyakaṃ karma sṛtvā''jiṃ yāvaduttamam | dharmasyānṛṇyamāpnoti na cātmānaṃ vigarhate

One who has done a man's work and pressed into battle as far as it goes is freed from his debt to dharma and does not blame himself.

Note on the text: The critical edition's 5.131.14cd–ef.

Verse 17 (5.133.17)

अलब्ध्वा यदि वा लब्ध्वा नानुशोचति पण्डितः । आनन्तर्यं चारभते न प्राणानां धनायते ॥

alabdhvā yadi vā labdhvā nānuśocati paṇḍitaḥ | ānantaryaṃ cārabhate na prāṇānāṃ dhanāyate

Whether he gains or fails to gain, the wise man does not grieve; he goes on with his work without a break, and does not hoard even his life.

Verse 18 (5.133.18)

उद्भावयस्व वीर्यं वा तां वा गच्छ ध्रुवां गतिम् । धर्मं पुत्राग्रतः कृत्वा किंनिमित्तं हि जीवसि ॥

udbhāvayasva vīryaṃ vā tāṃ vā gaccha dhruvāṃ gatim | dharmaṃ putrāgrataḥ kṛtvā kiṃnimittaṃ hi jīvasi

Either show your valour or go the way that is certain. With dharma set behind you, my son, what are you living for?

Note on the text: Corrected उद्भावयस्वं → उद्भावयस्व (misprint in Wikisource; stray anusvara on the imperative, the critical edition reads udbhāvayasva).

Verse 19 (5.133.19)

इष्टापूर्तं हि ते क्लीब कीर्तिश्च सकला हता । विच्छिन्नं भोगमूलं ते किंनिमित्तं हि जीवसि ॥

iṣṭāpūrtaṃ hi te klība kīrtiśca sakalā hatā | vicchinnaṃ bhogamūlaṃ te kiṃnimittaṃ hi jīvasi

Your sacrifices and pious works, weakling, and all your fame are destroyed; the root of your enjoyment is cut off. What are you living for?

Verse 20 (5.133.20)

शत्रुर्निमज्जता ग्राह्यो जङ्घायां प्रपतिष्यता । विपरिच्छिन्नमूलोऽपि न विषीदेत्कथंचन ॥

śatrurnimajjatā grāhyo jaṅghāyāṃ prapatiṣyatā | viparicchinnamūlo'pi na viṣīdetkathaṃcana

A man who is sinking, or about to fall, should seize his enemy by the leg; even with his roots cut away, he should never lose heart.

Note on the text: Corrected निमञ्जता → निमज्जता (misprint in Wikisource; ञ्ज for ज्ज, the root is मज्ज्, as the critical edition reads nimajjatā).

Verse 21 (5.133.21)

उद्यम्य धुरमुत्कर्षेदाजानेयकृतं स्मरन् । कुरु सत्वं च मानं च विद्धि पौरुषमात्मनः ॥

udyamya dhuramutkarṣedājāneyakṛtaṃ smaran | kuru satvaṃ ca mānaṃ ca viddhi pauruṣamātmanaḥ

Lifting the yoke, he should pull it forward, remembering what thoroughbred horses do. Summon your courage and your pride; know your own manhood.

Note on the text: Line 1 is the critical edition's 5.131.18ef; line 2 is 5.131.19ab. From here to verse 38 each Wikisource verse joins the second half of one critical-edition verse to the first half of the next (Wikisource's own division). Corrected आजानेयकतं → आजानेयकृतं (misprint in Wikisource; dropped vowel sign, the critical edition reads ājāneyakṛtaṃ and the commentary explains कृतं कर्म).

Verse 22 (5.133.22)

उद्भावय कुलं मग्नं त्वत्कृते स्वयमेव हि । यस्य वृत्तं न जल्पन्ति मानवा महदद्भुतम् ॥

udbhāvaya kulaṃ magnaṃ tvatkṛte svayameva hi | yasya vṛttaṃ na jalpanti mānavā mahadadbhutam

Raise up by your own effort the family that has sunk because of you. He whose great and wonderful deeds men do not talk about

Verse 23 (5.133.23)

राशिवर्धनमात्रं स नैव स्त्री न पुनः पुमान् । दाने तपसि सत्ये च यस्य नोच्चरितं यशः ॥

rāśivardhanamātraṃ sa naiva strī na punaḥ pumān | dāne tapasi satye ca yasya noccaritaṃ yaśaḥ

merely adds to the count of heads; he is neither woman nor man. He whose fame is not proclaimed for giving, austerity and truthfulness,

Verse 24 (5.133.24)

विद्यायामर्थलाभे वा मातुरुच्चार एव सः । श्रुतेन तपसा वाऽपि श्रिया वा विक्रमेण वा ॥

vidyāyāmarthalābhe vā māturuccāra eva saḥ | śrutena tapasā vā'pi śriyā vā vikrameṇa vā

nor for learning or the winning of wealth, is nothing but his mother's excrement. But one who, by learning, by austerity, by fortune or by valour,

Verse 25 (5.133.25)

जनान्योऽभिभवत्यन्यान्कर्मणा हि स वै पुमान् । न त्वेव जाल्मीं कापालीं वृत्तिमेषितुमर्हसि ॥

janānyo'bhibhavatyanyānkarmaṇā hi sa vai pumān | na tveva jālmīṃ kāpālīṃ vṛttimeṣitumarhasi

surpasses other men by his deeds, he truly is a man. You should not seek the base life of one who begs with a skull-bowl,

Verse 26 (5.133.26)

नृशंस्यामयशस्यां च दुःखां कापुरुषोचिताम् । यमेनमभिनन्देयुरमित्राः पुरुषं कृशम् ॥

nṛśaṃsyāmayaśasyāṃ ca duḥkhāṃ kāpuruṣocitām | yamenamabhinandeyuramitrāḥ puruṣaṃ kṛśam

cruel, inglorious, miserable, fit only for cowards. A man whom his enemies would welcome, a wasted man,

Verse 27 (5.133.27)

लोकस्य समवज्ञातं निहीनासनवाससम् । अहोलाभकरं हीनमल्पजीवनमल्पकम् ॥

lokasya samavajñātaṃ nihīnāsanavāsasam | aholābhakaraṃ hīnamalpajīvanamalpakam

despised by the world, with a poor seat and poor clothes, crying 'What luck!' at every small gain, mean, with a meagre living and little worth:

Verse 28 (5.133.28)

नेदृशं बन्धुमासाद्य बान्धवः सुखमेधते । अवृत्त्यैव विपत्स्यामो वयं राष्ट्रात्प्रवासिताः ॥

nedṛśaṃ bandhumāsādya bāndhavaḥ sukhamedhate | avṛttyaiva vipatsyāmo vayaṃ rāṣṭrātpravāsitāḥ

no kinsman finds happiness in having such a relative. Banished from our kingdom, we shall perish for want of a livelihood alone,

Verse 29 (5.133.29)

सर्वकामरसैर्हीनाः स्थानभ्रष्टा अकिंचनाः । अवल्गुकारिणं सत्सु कुलवंशस्य नाशनम् ॥

sarvakāmarasairhīnāḥ sthānabhraṣṭā akiṃcanāḥ | avalgukāriṇaṃ satsu kulavaṃśasya nāśanam

deprived of all the pleasures we desire, fallen from our place, destitute. One who brings disgrace among the good, the ruin of his family and line,

Note on the text: Corrected अवल्गुकारिण → अवल्गुकारिणं (misprint in Wikisource; the accusative agreeing with त्वाम् in the next verse lacks its anusvara, as the critical edition's avarṇakāriṇaṃ has it).

Verse 30 (5.133.30)

कलिं पुत्रप्रवादेन सञ्जय त्वामजीजनम् । निरमर्षं निरुत्साहं निर्वीर्यमरिनन्दनम् ॥

kaliṃ putrapravādena sañjaya tvāmajījanam | niramarṣaṃ nirutsāhaṃ nirvīryamarinandanam

Kali, strife itself, is what I bore in you under the name of a son, Sanjaya: without indignation, without energy, without valour, a joy to your enemies.

Verse 31 (5.133.31)

मा स्म सीमन्तिनी काचिज्जनयेत्पुत्रमीदृशम् । मा धूमाय ज्वलात्यन्तमाक्रम्य जहि शात्रवान् ॥

mā sma sīmantinī kācijjanayetputramīdṛśam | mā dhūmāya jvalātyantamākramya jahi śātravān

May no woman ever bear such a son! Do not smoulder; blaze up fiercely, attack and slay your foes.

Note on the text: Corrected काचिञ्जनयेत् → काचिज्जनयेत् (misprint in Wikisource; the sandhi of काचित् + जनयेत् gives ज्ज, as the critical edition reads kā cij janayet).

Verse 32 (5.133.32)

ज्वल मूर्धन्यमित्राणां मुहूर्तमपि वा क्षणम् । एतावानेव पुरुषो यदमर्षी यदक्षमी ॥

jvala mūrdhanyamitrāṇāṃ muhūrtamapi vā kṣaṇam | etāvāneva puruṣo yadamarṣī yadakṣamī

Blaze on the heads of your enemies, if only for a moment, if only for an instant. A man is a man only so far as he cannot bear a wrong and does not forgive it.

Verse 33 (5.133.33)

क्षमावान्निरमर्षश्च नैव स्त्री न पुनः पुमान् । संतोषो वै श्रियं हन्ति तथाऽनुक्रोश एव च ॥

kṣamāvānniramarṣaśca naiva strī na punaḥ pumān | saṃtoṣo vai śriyaṃ hanti tathā'nukrośa eva ca

One who forgives and feels no indignation is neither woman nor man. Contentment destroys good fortune, and so does pity,

Verse 34 (5.133.34)

अनुत्थानभये चोभे निरीहो नाश्नुते महत् । एभ्यो निकृतिपापेभ्यः प्रमुञ्चात्मानमात्मना ॥

anutthānabhaye cobhe nirīho nāśnute mahat | ebhyo nikṛtipāpebhyaḥ pramuñcātmānamātmanā

and so do lack of effort and fear, both of them; one who does not strive gains nothing great. Free yourself by your own effort from these ruinous faults.

Note on the text: Corrected नाश्रुते → नाश्नुते (misprint in Wikisource; र for न, the critical edition reads nāśnute).

Verse 35 (5.133.35)

आयसं हृदयं कृत्वा मृगयस्व पुनः स्वकम् । परं विषहते यस्मात्तस्मात्पुरुष उच्यते ॥

āyasaṃ hṛdayaṃ kṛtvā mṛgayasva punaḥ svakam | paraṃ viṣahate yasmāttasmātpuruṣa ucyate

Make your heart like iron and seek out again what is your own. A man is called purusha because he overcomes his enemy;

Verse 36 (5.133.36)

तमाहुर्व्यर्थनामानं स्त्रीवद्य इह जीवति । शूरस्योर्जितसत्वस्य सिंहविक्रान्तचारिणः ॥

tamāhurvyarthanāmānaṃ strīvadya iha jīvati | śūrasyorjitasatvasya siṃhavikrāntacāriṇaḥ

one who lives here like a woman, they say, bears that name in vain. When a hero of mighty strength, who moves with a lion's stride,

Verse 37 (5.133.37)

दिष्टभावं गतस्यापि विषये मोदते प्रजा । य आत्मनः प्रियसुखे हित्वा मृगयते श्रियम् ॥

diṣṭabhāvaṃ gatasyāpi viṣaye modate prajā | ya ātmanaḥ priyasukhe hitvā mṛgayate śriyam

has passed away, his people still rejoice in his realm. He who sets aside his own pleasures and comforts and seeks fortune

Note on the text: Corrected प्रियमुखे → प्रियसुखे (misprint in Wikisource; म for स, the dual "pleasures and comforts" as the critical edition reads priyasukhe).

Verse 38 (5.133.38)

अमात्यानामथो हर्षमादधात्यचिरेण सः ॥

amātyānāmatho harṣamādadhātyacireṇa saḥ

soon brings joy to his ministers.

Note on the text: A single line, numbered 38 on the page; with the second line of verse 37 it makes up the critical edition's 5.131.35.

Verse 39 (5.133.39)

किं नु मे मामपश्यन्त्याः पृथिव्या अपि सर्वया । किमाभरणकृत्यं ते किं भोगैर्जीवितेन वा ॥

kiṃ nu me māmapaśyantyāḥ pṛthivyā api sarvayā | kimābharaṇakṛtyaṃ te kiṃ bhogairjīvitena vā

Tell me: if you could no longer see me, what use would the whole earth be? What need would you have of ornaments, of pleasures, or of life?

Verse 40 (5.133.40)

परैर्विहन्यमानस्य जीवितेनापि किं फलम् । निर्मन्युकानां ये लोका द्विषन्तस्तानवाप्नुयुः । ये त्वादृतात्मनां लोकाः सुहृदस्तान्व्रजन्तु नः ॥

parairvihanyamānasya jīvitenāpi kiṃ phalam | nirmanyukānāṃ ye lokā dviṣantastānavāpnuyuḥ | ye tvādṛtātmanāṃ lokāḥ suhṛdastānvrajantu naḥ

What good is life to one who is beaten down by enemies? May our enemies go to the worlds that await the spiritless, and may our friends go to the worlds of those who hold themselves in honour.

Note on the text: Removed stray wiki quote marks (` … ') around line 1 and corrected पैरर्विहन्यमानस्य → परैर्विहन्यमानस्य (misprint in Wikisource; transposed vowel sign, the critical edition's apparatus reads parair vihanyamānasya). Line 1 is the critical edition's star passage *0503 (printed in the CE file as 05,130.037*0503), not in the constituted text; lines 2–3 are 5.131.37 (it reads kim adyakānāṃ for निर्मन्युकानां).

Verse 41 (5.133.41)

भृत्यैर्विहीयमानानां परपिण्डोपजीविनाम् । कृपणानामसत्वानां मा वृत्तिमनुवर्तिथाः ॥

bhṛtyairvihīyamānānāṃ parapiṇḍopajīvinām | kṛpaṇānāmasatvānāṃ mā vṛttimanuvartithāḥ

Do not follow the ways of the wretched and spiritless, who are abandoned by their servants and live on the food of others.

Verse 42 (5.133.42)

अनु त्वां तात जीवन्तु ब्राह्मणाः सुहृदस्तथा । पर्जन्यमिव भूतानि देवा इव शतक्रतुम् ॥

anu tvāṃ tāta jīvantu brāhmaṇāḥ suhṛdastathā | parjanyamiva bhūtāni devā iva śatakratum

Let brahmins and friends live by you, my son, as creatures live by the rain-cloud and the gods by Indra of the hundred sacrifices.

Note on the text: Corrected पर्यन्यमिव → पर्जन्यमिव (misprint in Wikisource; य for ज, the critical edition reads parjanyam iva).

Verse 43 (5.133.43)

यमाजीवन्ति पुरुषं सर्वभूतानि संजय । पक्वं द्रुममिवासाद्य तस्य जीवितमर्थवत् ॥

yamājīvanti puruṣaṃ sarvabhūtāni saṃjaya | pakvaṃ drumamivāsādya tasya jīvitamarthavat

Sanjaya, the man on whom all beings live, as they live on a tree heavy with ripe fruit, has a life that is worth something.

Verse 44 (5.133.44)

यस्य शूरस्य विक्रान्तैरेधन्ते बान्धवाः सुखम् । त्रिदशा इव शक्रस्य साधु तस्येह जीवितम् ॥

yasya śūrasya vikrāntairedhante bāndhavāḥ sukham | tridaśā iva śakrasya sādhu tasyeha jīvitam

The hero by whose valiant deeds his kinsmen thrive in happiness, as the thirty gods thrive by Shakra's, lives a life that is good.

Verse 45 (5.133.45)

स्वबाहुबलमाश्रित्य योहि जीवति मानवः । स लोके लभते कीर्तिं परत्र च शुभां गतिम् ॥

svabāhubalamāśritya yohi jīvati mānavaḥ | sa loke labhate kīrtiṃ paratra ca śubhāṃ gatim

The man who lives relying on the strength of his own arms wins fame in this world and a blessed state in the next.
