Sanskrit Text

अनिष्कषाये काषायमीहार्थमिति विद्धि तत् धर्मध्वजानां मुण्डानां वृत्त्यर्थमिति मे मतिः

English Translation

Without having cast off anger and other passions, wearing only the brown robe, O king, is due to the desire of earning the means of livelihood. Those persons of clean-shaved heads who hold up the banner of virtue, have the acquisition of sustenance for their only object in life.
