daivādarthavipatterbhavati viṣādaḥ sadā puṃsām
The line
From not getting across a task, from being caught in a theft, from the fault of a king, or from fate, from the loss of an aim: despair always comes to be in men.
नेपालीमा
काम पार नगर्नु, चोरीमा पक्रिनु, राजाको दोष वा भाग्य, र लक्ष्य हराउनुबाट मानिसमा सधैँ विषाद उत्पन्न हुन्छ।
Where it sits
Viṣāda (विषाद). The prose says it arises from not getting through a task and from a stroke of fate, and that high and middle seek a helper and a means, while the low run the wrong way.
