तदैवाघातयिष्यस्त्वं यद्यज्ञानं तथागतम् ।
राज्यत्यागविधौ तत्त्वां नाहनिष्यत्क्षयं गतम् ॥ १६ ॥

tadaivāghātayiṣyastvaṃ yadyajñānaṃ tathāgatam |
rājyatyāgavidhau tattvāṃ nāhaniṣyatkṣayaṃ gatam || 16 ||

If you can but now kill your fallen ignorance in any way, it will not be able to destroy you at once in your rigorous penance; though it has reduced you to this plight by your abdication of royalty.
