सर्वत्र वीर्यवान् साधु कुशीदो दुःखं जीवति ।
सो यं वीर्यप्रभावेन धनम् आदाय गच्छति ॥ १५ ॥
sarvatra vīryavān sādhu kuśīdo duḥkhaṃ jīvati |
so yaṃ vīryaprabhāvena dhanam ādāya gacchati || 15 ||
Always do the energetic have success in life, but adversity is the lot of the lazy. And the young man by virtue of his energy went his way in possession of his prize. (15)
