इहेच्छानिच्छते ज्ञस्य शाम्यतां यदलं समे ।
तथापि श्रेयसे मन्ये नन्वनिच्छोदयं स्फुटम् ॥ ४९ ॥

ihecchānicchate jñasya śāmyatāṃ yadalaṃ same |
tathāpi śreyase manye nanvanicchodayaṃ sphuṭam || 49 ||

Here our wish and effort as well as our want of both, are all alike in the opinion of the learned (who maintain the doctrine of irrevocable fate); but in my opinion it is better to remain in cool indifference.
