Sanskrit Text

यदि नो ब्राह्मणास्तात संत्यजेयुरपूजिताः पश्यन्तो दारुणं कर्म सततं क्षत्रिये स्थितम्

English Translation

If on seeing cruelties and other sinful deeds in Kshatriyas, the Brahmanas, O son, unhonoured by us leave us all, I say, of what use would life be to us, in the absence of all contact with the Brahmanas, especially as we shall then have to carry on our existence without being able to study the Vedas, to celebrate sacrifices, to hope for worlds of bliss hereafter, and to perform great deeds?
