अवधूते तथाभूते तस्मिन्नियमनिश्चये।
कृतश्रमो निरुत्साहस्तस्माद्देशादपाक्रमे॥
avadhūte tathā-bhūte tasmin niyama-niścaye
kṛta-śramo nirutsāhas tasmād deśād apākrame
avadhūte = and then obstructed; tathā-bhūte = was almost carried out; tasmin niyama-niścaye = since my resolution; kṛta-śramaḥ = my labors have turned futile; nirutsāhaḥ = and I became apathetic; tasmāt = from that; deśāt = place; apākrame = so I have arrived here.
Since my resolution was almost carried out and then obstructed, my labors have turned futile and I became apathetic. So, I have arrived here from that place.
