‘autsukyamātramārambhaḥ phalalābhāya bhūyase .
prayatnastu tadaprāptau vyāpāro'titvarānvitaḥ .
upāyāpāyaśaṅkābhyāṃ prāptyāśā prāptisaṃbhavaḥ .
apāyābhāvata: prāptirniyatāptiḥ suniścitā .
samagraphalasaṃpattiḥ phalayoga udāhṛtaḥ ..'

“The beginning is mere eagerness for the large attainment of the fruit.
The effort, on the other hand, when that is not yet attained, is activity accompanied by great haste.
The hope of attainment is the possibility of attainment, amidst doubts of means and perils.
The certainty of attainment is assured attainment, due to the absence of perils.
The attainment of the complete fruit is called the fruition.”
