19. (There is nothing which) a virtuous person does not obtain through human effort (puruṣa) and endeavor. Indeed, without a method (yukti) endowed with celibacy (brahmacarya), fortitude, and the impetus of valor and dispassion, you (Rāghava) will not achieve that which is desired.

19. ...אשר אדם בעל מידות טובות אינו יכול להשיג באמצעות מאמץ אישי, בְּרַהְמַצַ'רְיַה (איפוק וטהרה), נחישות, עוצמת הפרישות ואמצעים נכונים. שכן ללא שימוש באמצעים הנכונים, לא תשיג את מבוקשך.
