द्वयोरद्यतनस्यैव प्रत्यक्षाद्बलिता भवेत् ।
दैवं जेतुं यतो यत्नैर्बालो यूनेव शक्यते ॥ १९ ॥

dvayoradyatanasyaiva pratyakṣādbalitā bhavet |
daivaṃ jetuṃ yato yatnairbālo yūneva śakyate || 19 ||

Of these two powers that of the present state is manifestly superior to the other; hence it is as possible to overcome the past by the present, as to lick a boy by an adult.
