कृत्यानि पूर्व परिसंख्याय सर्वा- ण्यायव्यये चानुरूपां च वृत्तिम् । संगृह्लीयादनुरूपान् सहायान् सहायसाध्यानि हि दुष्कराणि,पहले कर्तव्य एवं आय-व्यय और उचित वेतन आदिका निश्चय करके फिर सुयोग्य सहायकोंका संग्रह करे, क्योंकि कठिनसे कठिन कार्य भी सहायकोंद्वारा साध्य होते हैं
kṛtyāni pūrvaṃ parisaṅkhyāya sarvāṇy āyavyaye cānurūpāṃ ca vṛttim | saṅgṛhṇīyād anurūpān sahāyān sahāyasādhyāni hi duṣkarāṇi ||

Only after such planning should one gather capable assistants suited to the task—for even the most difficult undertakings are accomplished through the help of assistants.
