When Brahmanas neglect the study of the Vedas and seek protection from the scriptures, then Indra does not pour rain in time and various sorts of calamities constantly assail the kingdom.
न ब्रह्मचारी चरणादयेतो यदा ब्रह्म ब्रह्मणि त्राणमिच्छेत्। आश्चर्यतो वर्षति तत्र देव स्तत्राभीक्ष्णं दुःसहाश्चाविशन्ति॥
