मस्तकन्यस्तभारादेर्दुःखमन्यैर्निवार्यते ।क्षुधादिकृतदुःखं तु विना स्वेन न केनचित् ॥ ५४ ॥
In plain words
If a weight is pressing on your head, someone else can lift it off for you. But hunger's ache — no one else can end that but you; there is no substitute for your own effort.
Close to the Sanskrit
The suffering from a load placed on [one's own] head, etc., can be removed by others; but the suffering caused by hunger and the like cannot be removed, without oneself, by anyone else.
