Those who are weak often find themselves unable to bear the dangers posed by the strong. Like a sage’s curse that can create fear, they become vulnerable to malevolent influences. This shloka warns against succumbing to overwhelming adversity.

हिंदी अनुवाद

जो कमजोर होते हैं वे अक्सर शक्तिशाली द्वारा उत्पन्न खतरों को सहन नहीं कर पाते। जैसे कि ऋषि का श्राप जो भय का निर्माण कर सकता है, वे दुष्ट प्रभावों के प्रति असुरक्षित हो जाते हैं। यह श्लोक अत्यधिक कठिनाइयों के सामने न झुकने की चेतावनी देता है।
