Transliteration
yajñadhūmodbhavaṃ cāpi dvijānāṃ hitakṛtsadā dāvāgnidhūmasambhūtam abhraṃ vanahitaṃ smṛtam
Translation
Clouds born of the smoke of sacrifice (yajña) are ever beneficent to the twice-born, for they uphold the order of rite and dharma. But the cloud that arises from the smoke of a forest-fire is remembered as serving the forest—nourishing the woodland itself.
