महाभारतः mahābhārataḥ - book-5, chapter-132, verse-38

उद्यच्छेदेव न नमेदुद्यमो ह्येव पौरुषम् ।
अप्यपर्वणि भज्येत न नमेदिह कस्यचित् ॥३८॥

38. udyacchedeva na namedudyamo hyeva pauruṣam ,

api aparvaṇi bhajyeta na namet iha kasyacit

38. udyacchet eva na namet.
hi udyamaḥ eva pauruṣam.
api aparvaṇi bhajyeta iha kasyacit na namet.

38. One should always strive and exert oneself, never bow down. Indeed, effort (udyama) alone is true manliness (pauruṣa). Even if one were to break at a non-joint (a weak point), one should still not bow down to anyone here.
