Devanagari script
वर्णाश्रमा यथा सर्वे धर्मज्ञानविवर्जिता: । क्रतवश्चन॒ यथासोमास्तथा गड़ां विना जगत्
Translation
Kung paanong ang lahat ng varṇa at āśrama, kapag salat sa dharma at kaalaman, ay nawawalan ng dangal; at kung paanong ang mga handog na ritwal, kapag walang soma, ay di nagiging maringal—gayundin, ang sanlibutan kung wala ang Gaḍā ay walang kagandahan.
