2.18
prārabdha-kāryānirvāhād, yathā-
vāraṃ vāraṃ tirayati dṛśāv udgato bāṣpa-pūras
tat-saṅkalpopahita-jaḍima stambham abhyeti gātram |
sadyaḥ svidyann nayam aviratotkampa-lolāṅgulīkaḥ
pāṇir lekhāvidhiṣu nitarāṃ vartate kiṃ karomi ||
From the failure to accomplish an undertaken task, as in:
"A rising flood of tears veils my eyes again and again;
paralysis overtakes my limbs, sluggish through brooding on her;
and this hand, suddenly sweating, its fingers trembling in constant tremor,
falters utterly in the work of drawing. What shall I do?"
2.18.p1
(mālatīmādhava 1.38)

2.18.p2
atra prastuta-citra-nirmāṇānirvāhān mādhavasya kiṃ karomīti vāg-ārambha-sūcitayā tad-darśanopāya-cintayā viṣādo vyajyate |
Here, despair is expressed by the reflection on an expedient to see her, which is indicated by the opening words "What shall I do?" resulting from Mādhava's failure to complete the portrait he had begun.
