महाभारतः mahābhārataḥ - book-3, chapter-33, verse-47

कुर्वतो नार्थसिद्धिर्मे भवतीति ह भारत ।
निर्वेदो नात्र गन्तव्यो द्वावेतौ ह्यस्य कर्मणः ।
सिद्धिर्वाप्यथ वासिद्धिरप्रवृत्तिरतोऽन्यथा ॥४७॥

47. kurvato nārthasiddhirme bhavatīti ha bhārata ,
nirvedo nātra gantavyo dvāvetau hyasya karmaṇaḥ ,
siddhirvāpyatha vāsiddhirapravṛttirato'nyathā.

47. kurvataḥ na artha-siddhiḥ me bhavati iti
ha bhārata | nirvedaḥ na atra gantavyaḥ
dvau etau hi asya karmaṇaḥ | siddhiḥ vā api
atha vā asiddhiḥ apravṛttiḥ ataḥ anyathā

47. O Bhārata, if I do not achieve success (artha-siddhi) when performing an action (karma), one should not fall into despair concerning it. Indeed, for any action (karma), these two—success or failure—are the outcomes, or, alternatively, the non-initiation of the action.
