दक्षिणां ककुभं गच्छन्कः प्राप्नोत्युत्तरां दिशम् ।
संकल्पार्थपरैरेव संकल्पार्थोऽवगम्यते ॥ १८ ॥

dakṣiṇāṃ kakubhaṃ gacchankaḥ prāpnotyuttarāṃ diśam |
saṃkalpārthaparaireva saṃkalpārtho'vagamyate || 18 ||

As one going in southerly direction, cannot arrive at his house in the north, so it is the case with the pursuers after their aims; which they well know to be unattainable without their firm determination in it.
