तथैव यक्ष ! पुष्ट्यर्थमसच्छास्त्रक्रियाश्च याः ।
यच्चार्थनिर्वृतं किञ्चिदधीताṃ यन्न सत्यतः ॥
tathaiva yakṣa puṣṭy-artham asac-chāstra-kriyāś ca yāḥ |
yac cārtha-nirvṛtaṃ kiñcid adhītaṃ yan na satyataḥ ||
তদ্রূপ, হে যক্ষ, মিথ্যা/অসার শিক্ষার উপর প্রতিষ্ঠিত যে আচার-কর্ম তোমার পোষণের জন্য করা হয়; এবং যে অধ্যয়ন কেবল ধন-তৃপ্তির জন্য, সত্য-তত্ত্বের জন্য নয়—সেটাও তোমারই।
