Bhagavad Gītā (Kashmirian recension)2.8

2.8
न हि प्रपश्यामि ममापनुद्या- द्यः शोकमुच्छोषणमिन्द्रियाणाम् । अवाप्य भूमावसपत्नमृद्धं राज्यं सुराणामपि चाधिपत्यम् ॥ २-८ ॥
na hi prapaśyāmi mamāpanudyā- dyaḥ śokamucchoṣaṇamindriyāṇām | avāpya bhūmāvasapatnamṛddhaṃ rājyaṃ surāṇāmapi cādhipatyam || 2-8 ||
— for I do not see ; — what would dispel this grief of mine ; — the drying-up of the senses ; — even gaining an unrivaled, prosperous kingdom on earth ; — or even sovereignty over the gods

For I do not see what could dispel the grief that withers my senses, even were I to win an unrivaled and prosperous kingdom on earth, or even lordship over the gods.
