ॐ
Hindi Translation
जो लोग दिखने में सुन्दर है, जवान है, ऊँचे कुल में पैदा हुए है, वो बेकार है यदि उनके पास विद्या नहीं है. वो तो पलाश के फूल के समान है जो दिखते तो अच्छे है पर महकते नहीं.
ॐ
English Translation
Those who are endowed with beauty and youth and who are born of noble families are worthless if they have no learning. They are just like the kimshuka blossoms ( flowers of the palasa tree) which, though beautiful, have no fragrance.
