Devanagari script
विषमां च दशां प्राप्तो देवान् गहति वै भृशम् । आत्मन: कर्मदोषाणि न विजानात्यपण्डित:,मूर्ख मानव संकटकी दशामें पड़नेपर देवताओंको बहुत कोसता है, उनकी भरपेट निन्दा करता है; किंतु वह यह नहीं समझता कि यह अपने ही कर्मोका दोषावह परिणाम है
Transliteration
viṣamāṃ ca daśāṃ prāpto devān gahati vai bhṛśam | ātmanaḥ karmadoṣāṇi na vijānāty apaṇḍitaḥ ||
Translation
The hunter said: “When a man falls into a harsh and uneven condition, he vehemently blames the gods and pours out full reproach upon them. Yet the unwise does not recognize that the fault lies in his own actions—the suffering is the consequence of his own deeds.”
