Human Effort, Contingency, and the Political Effects of Corrupt Counsel
सम्पाद्यमानं सम्यक् च स्यात् कर्म सफल प्रभो । स तथा कृष्ण वर्तस्व यथा शर्म भवेत् परैः:,प्रभो! जिस कार्यको अच्छी तरह किया जाय, वह सफल हो सकता है। श्रीकृष्ण! आप ऐसा ही प्रयत्न करें, जिससे शत्रुओंके साथ हमारी संधि हो जाय
sampādyamānaṃ samyak ca syāt karma saphala prabho | sa tathā kṛṣṇa vartasva yathā śarma bhavet paraiḥ ||
Arjuna said: “O Lord, a task, when carried through properly and with due care, can indeed bear fruit. Therefore, O Kṛṣṇa, act in such a way that peace and security may arise between us and the others (our opponents)—so that a settlement with the enemy becomes possible.”
