Dharma-śaṅkā-nivāraṇa: Yudhiṣṭhira’s Response on Karma-Phala and Trust in Dharma
Devanagari script
कुर्वतो नार्थसिद्धिर्मे भवतीति ह भारत । निर्वेदो नात्र कर्तव्यो द्वावन्यौ हात्र कारणम्,भारत! पुरुषार्थ करनेपर भी यदि अपनेको सिद्धि न प्राप्त हो तो इस बातको लेकर मन-ही-मन खिन्न नहीं होना चाहिये; क्योंकि फलकी सिद्धिमें पुरुषार्थके सिवा दो और भी कारण हैं--प्रारब्ध और ईश्वरकृपा
Transliteration
kurvato nārthasiddhir me bhavatīti ha bhārata | nirvedo nātra kartavyo dvāv anyau hātra kāraṇam ||
Translation
হে ভাৰত! চেষ্টা কৰিও যদি উদ্দেশ্যসিদ্ধি নাহে, তেন্তে মনত খেদ নকৰিবা। কিয়নো ফলসিদ্ধিত পুৰুষাৰ্থৰ বাহিৰেও দুটা কাৰণ আছে—দৈৱ (প্ৰাৰব্ধ) আৰু ঈশ্বৰানুগ্ৰহ।
