Mantra 11
Sukta 31
यश्चकार न शशाक कर्तुं शश्रे पादमङ्गुरिम्। चकार भद्रमस्मभ्यमभगो भगवद्भ्यः
yáś cakā́ra ná śaśā́ka kártuṃ śaśré pā́dam aṅgúrim | cakā́ra bhadrám asmábhyam abhagó bhágavadbhyaḥ ||
He who hath wrought, yet had not power to work it through—his foot, his very toe hath slipped. He hath wrought good for us: luckless is he, for the fortunate.
那作了此事却无力将其做成的人——他的脚，乃至脚趾，都已失足滑脱。他反倒为我们作成了善事：无福者归于无福，福佑者归于有福。
