Uv16:1
pūrvaṃ hi kṛtyaṃ pratijāgareta mā me kṛtyaṃ kṛtyakāle vihanyāt |
taṃ nityakāle pratiyatyakāriṇaṃ naiva kṛtyaṃ kṛtyakāle vihanti ||

Uv 16:1
One should attend to the task beforehand; let not my task confound me when it is time for the task;
that one who acts preparedly at all times—his task never confounds him when it is time for the task.
