मूल पाठ सहायकReading aid for the sourceWord by word (पदच्छेद व अन्वय)पदच्छेद
A powerful verse from the Ramayana — not from Rama but from the Ayodhya context — on the relationship between fate and effort. The refusal to blame fate and the insistence on human effort as the primary vehicle of progress is a distinctly Ramayana value. Rama never complains; he acts.
मैं भाग्य को दोष नहीं देता; मैं पुरुषार्थ की शरण लेता हूँ। जो वास्तव में भाग्यशाली हैं, वे स्वयं ही कर्म में लगे रहते हैं।
अक्षरशः अनुवाद — मूल संस्कृत श्लोक के प्रत्येक पद का प्रत्यक्ष अर्थ।
I do not blame fate; I take refuge in human effort. Those who are truly fortunate are themselves engaged in action.
Direct literal rendering preserving Sanskrit philosophical terminology.

शोध संदर्भResearch context · not scriptureComparative Research Noteशोध टिप्पणी
मैं भाग्य को दोष नहीं देता; मैं पुरुषार्थ की शरण लेता हूँ। आदत और परिणाम एक चक्र बनाते हैं: जो बार-बार किया जाता है, वह अगली प्रवृत्ति को मजबूत करता है। यह पंक्ति कर्म को उसी चक्र के रूप में देखती है, भाग्य के आकस्मिक प्रहार के रूप में नहीं।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
