दैवं हि दैन्यमिति कापुरुषाः वदन्ति।
दैवं निहत्य कुरु पौरुषमात्म शक्त्या
यत्ने कृते यदि न सिध्यति कोऽत्र दोषः॥
Wealth always reaches only those lion-like people who persistently keep trying and continuously toil. But some people consider poverty and misery as fate. One can overcome fate through continuous efforts. Even after trying hard, if one does not succeed, one should find out where the fault lies.
