One must rise, stay alert, and keep acting with hope—never allowing despair to cloud future actions.
Even the capable, if fated for failure, may not succeed—effort may be defeated by destiny in rare cases.
Rise, self-control, skill, alertness, memory, and discernment—these form the very roots of human success.
The man of rising effort rules over even eloquent speakers—initiative draws even the wise to his side.
All beings acknowledge effort—its fruits are visible, like the seeds sprouting under public scrutiny.
He who always strives not only clears his own debts but also uplifts others.
Even a wise king without initiative becomes prey to enemies—like a venomless snake.
Through effort, nectar was churned; through effort, demons were defeated; Indra rose to heaven through effort.
Just as fuel ignites fire, effort energizes character. The ever-active person attains even greatness despite weakness.
In royal courts, only the effortful are noticed—kings acknowledge them even if their opinions differ.
