Transliteration
sāmavāyikānām apurogasya tu yātrā-madhyānta-go 'narthaḥ saṃśayo vā śreyān upasamprāptum anirbandha-gāmitvāt
Translation
সমষ্টিগত উদ্যোগে স্বীকৃত নেতা না থাকলে যাত্রার শুরু, মধ্য বা শেষ—যে কোনো পর্যায়ে বিপদ ঘটতে পারে; তাই ফল অনিশ্চিত হলে সতর্কভাবে অগ্রসর হওয়া এবং কঠোর অঙ্গীকার এড়ানোই শ্রেয়, কারণ এমন উদ্যোগ দৃঢ় দিশা ছাড়া ভেসে যায়।
