As an elephant made of wood, or a deer made of leather, as a person without riches, or one that is a eunuch, or a field which is barren, even so is a Brahmana who is void of Vedic learning and a king incapable of giving protection. Both of them are like a cloud that does not pour rain.
यथा दारुमयो हस्ती यथा चर्ममयो मृगः। यथा ह्यनथः षण्ढो वा पार्थ क्षेत्रं यथोषरम्॥ एवं विप्रोऽनधीयानो राजा यश्च न रक्षिता। मेघो न वर्षते यश्च सर्वथा ते निरर्थकाः॥
