Translation
(EXCELLENT ACHIEVERS)
The lowest categories of men do not begin any enterprise for fear of obstacles. The middle category of men start on a venture but stop the effort once an obstacle rises up. Though hit by obstacles again and again, the excellent class of men do not discard the work that has been started. ॥ 72 ॥
