evaṃ pūrvairgato mārgaḥ pitṛpaitāmaho dhruvaḥ | tamāpannaḥ kathaṃ śocedyasya nāsti vyatikramaḥ ||
English Scholarly Translation
Like a man standing on the wayside says to a passing caravan, 'I am following you', and follows them, the road taken by our fathers and forefathers is certain for every one and cannot be violated by a person treading that path. (So) why should a man grieve?
