For what object is that wealth which is not given away and which is not enjoyed? For what purpose is that strength which is not used in resisting or subjugating one's enemies? For what purpose is that knowledge of the scriptures which does not move one to deeds of virtue? And for what purpose is that soul which does not control the senses and abstain from evil deeds?
धनेन किं यन्न ददाति नाश्नुते। बलेन किं येन रिपुं न बाधते। श्रुतेन किं येन न धर्ममाचरेत् किमात्मना यो न जितेन्द्रियो वशी॥
