Sanskrit Text

देववंशान्पितृवंशान्ब्रह्मवंशांश्च शाश्वतान् संत्यज्य मूढा वर्तन्ते ततो यान्त्यश्रुतीपथम्

English Translation

And since those little-witted men live by abandoning the eternal paths of the gods, of the Rishis, and of Brahma, therefore, they attain to paths disapproved of by the Shrutis.
