Sanskrit Text

नाश्रावयन्न यजन्न ददद्ब्राह्मणेषु ग्राम्यां वृत्तिं लिप्समानः कां गतिं याति जाजले इदं तु दैवतं कृत्वा यथा यज्ञमवाप्नुयात्

English Translation

What, O Jajali, will be the end of him who does not recite the Vedas to others, who does not celebrate Sacrifices, who does not make gifts to Brahmans, and who follows a calling in which every sort of desire is indulged? By duly respecting, however, the duties which belong to Renunciation, one is sure to attain to Brahima.
