Verse 4.62.19

पौरुषेण प्रयत्नेन यन्नाप्नोति गुणान्वितः ।
ब्रह्मचर्येण धैर्येण वीर्यवैराग्यरंहसा ।
युक्त्या युक्तेन हि विना न प्राप्नोषि तदीहितम् ॥ १९ ॥

pauruṣeṇa prayatnena yannāpnoti guṇānvitaḥ |
brahmacaryeṇa dhairyeṇa vīryavairāgyaraṃhasā |
yuktyā yuktena hi vinā na prāpnoṣi tadīhitam || 19 ||

There is nothing in this earth, below, or in the heaven of the celestials above, which is unattainable to the man of parts, by means of his manly efforts. It is impossible for you to obtain the object of your desire, without the exercise of your patience and dispassionateness, and the exertion of your prowess and austerities of Brahmacharya. Nor is it possible to succeed in anything without the right use of reason.
