यद्ध॑रि॒णो यव॒मत्ति॒ न पु॒ष्टं प॒शु मन्य॑ते । शू॒द्रा यदर्य॑जारा॒ न पोषा॑य धनायति
Transliteration
yád dharíṇo yavám átti ná púṣṭaṃ paśú́ mányate | śūdrā́ yád aryá-jārā́ ná póṣāya dhanāyati ||
Translation
മാൻ യവം തിന്നുമ്പോൾ, പുഷ്ടമായ പശുവിനെ (തന്നേതെന്ന്) കരുതുന്നില്ല. അതുപോലെ ശൂദ്രർ, ആര്യസ്ത്രീയുടെ ജാരന്മാരായാൽ, പോഷണത്തിനല്ല, ധനത്തിനായി ലാലസപ്പെടുന്നു.
