Verse 212

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ २१२ ॥

Without śraddhā, nothing ever begins. And where nothing begins, nothing is attained. Faithlessness alone fells them, and every one of them goes under in the vast ocean of saṃsāra.

Close to the Sanskrit

But for one bereft of faith there is no setting out; for one empty of setting out there is no attainment of the goal; and all those struck down by faithlessness alone sink in the great ocean of saṃsāra.
