Sanskrit Text

छन्दांसि वृजिनात्तारयन्ति; मायाविनं मायया वर्तमानम् नीडं शकुन्ता इव जातपक्षा;श्छन्दांस्येनं प्रजहत्यन्तकाले

English Translation

The hymns of the Veda do not rescue from sin the cheat that lives by deception. Like a bird which has got feathers forsaking its nest, the hymns forsake such a man when his end comes.
