Verse 6.53.8

बहुभिः समवायेन यत्कृतं तत्र भारत ।
एकोऽभिमानदुःखेन हास्यायैव हृइं गृह्यते ॥ ८ ॥

bahubhiḥ samavāyena yatkṛtaṃ tatra bhārata |
eko'bhimānaduḥkhena hāsyāyaiva hṛiṃ gṛhyate || 8 ||

Your assumption to yourself to any action, which has been done by the combination of many, amounts only to a conceit of your vanity, and exposes you not only to ridicule, but to frustrate the merit of your act.
