प्रवृत्तिमुद्यमं प्रज्ञां प्रयुंक्ते चेदखेदवान् ।
अकिंचनोऽपि शक्तत्वं समवाप्नोत्यविघ्नतः ॥ ५ ॥

pravṛttimudyamaṃ prajñāṃ prayuṃkte cedakhedavān |
akiṃcano'pi śaktatvaṃ samavāpnotyavighnataḥ || 5 ||

He succeeded in his attempts by his unwearied labour, joined with his firm resolution and well directed plan; as the meanest man is favoured with a fortune, by his employment of these means.
