गङ्गानयनम् (Gaṅgānayana) — “The Bringing/Leading of the Gaṅgā”
किं तु युष्मदभिप्रेतं कर्म लोके सुदारुणम् / शस्त्रसंग्रहणाच्छक्यं मयापि न तदन्यथा
kiṃ tu yuṣmadabhipretaṃ karma loke sudāruṇam / śastrasaṃgrahaṇācchakyaṃ mayāpi na tadanyathā
Yet the deed you desire is exceedingly harsh in this world. It can be accomplished only by gathering weapons; for me too, it cannot be otherwise.
