TRANSLATION

As one cannot approach the heavenly planets simply by the
strength of his arms (for who can touch the heavenly planets
with his hands?), one cannot imitate the wonderful activities of
Maharaja Bharata. No one could perform such activities in the past,
nor will anyone be able to do so in the future.
