majjatv ambhasi yātu meru-śikharaṃ śatruṃ jayatv āhave
vāṇijyaṃ kṛṣi-sevane ca sakalā vidyāḥ kalāḥ śikṣatām |
ākāśaṃ vipulaṃ prayātu khagavat kṛtvā prayatnaṃ paraṃ
nābhāvyaṃ bhavatīha karma-vaśato bhāvyasya nāśaḥ kutaḥ ||

Let one plunge into the water, scale the peak of Meru, conquer the enemy in battle, / engage in trade or agriculture, and study all the sciences and arts; / let one soar across the vast sky like a bird with supreme effort— / what is not destined to be will not happen here through the force of karma; how could what is destined to be ever perish?
