येषां न विद्या न तपो न दानं ज्ञानं न शीलं न गुणो न धर्मः ।

ते मर्त्यलोके भुविभारभूताः मनुष्यरुपेण मृगाश्चरन्ति ॥

yeṣāṃ na vidyā na tapo na dānaṃ jñānaṃ na śīlaṃ na guṇo na dharmaḥ |

te martyaloke bhuvibhārabhūtāḥ manuṣyarupeṇa mṛgāścaranti ||

One who is not learned, has not done any austerities, has not given charity, has no wisdom, character, value and righteousness is a burden to earth. He is an animal in the guise of a human being.
