कृषिगोरक्ष्यमित्येके प्रतिपद्यन्ति मानवा: । पुरुषा: प्रेष्पतामेके निर्गच्छन्ति धनार्थिन:,कुछ मनुष्य कृषि तथा गोरक्षाको अपनी जीविकाका साधन बनाते हैं, कुछ लोग धनकी इच्छासे नौकरी करनेके लिये दूर निकल जाते हैं
kṛṣigorakṣyam ity eke pratipadyanti mānavāḥ | puruṣāḥ preṣyatām eke nirgacchanti dhanārthinaḥ ||
વ્યાસે કહ્યું— કેટલાક લોકો ખેતી અને ગોરક્ષા ને જીવનોપાર્જનનું સાધન બનાવે છે; અને કેટલાક ધનની ઇચ્છાથી પરસેવા કરવા દૂર નીકળી જાય છે.
