इदं हि दुःखं यदनर्थकानि मे व्रतानि दानानि च संयमाश्च हि | तपश्च तप्तं यदपत्यकारणा त्सुनिष्फलं बीजमिवोप्तमूषरे || २-२०-५२

sanskrit

My regret is that all my mortifications, gifts of charity and penances are of no avail. Even the asceticism which I practised for the sake of progeny was fruitless like a seed sown in a barren land. [2-20-52]
