Shloka 25
कृपकृपी-जननम्
The Birth of Kṛpa and Kṛpī; Kṛpa’s Attainment of Astras
अक्लिष्टं फलमव्यग्रो विन्दते बुद्धिमान् नर: । तस्मिन् दृष्टे फले राजन् प्रयत्नं कर्तुमहसि
akliṣṭaṃ phalam avyagro vindate buddhimān naraḥ | tasmin dṛṣṭe phale rājan prayatnaṃ kartum arhasi ||
“বুদ্ধিমান ব্যক্তি মনকে অব্যগ্র রেখে এমন ফল লাভ করে, যা ক্লেশ বা ক্ষতিকর টানাপোড়েনে অর্জিত হয় না। হে রাজন, সেই ফল দেখেই তোমার উচিত প্রচেষ্টা করা।”
