sthālyāṃ vaidūryamayyāṃ pacati tilakaṇāṃś candanair indhanaughaiḥ
sauvarṇair lāṅgalāgrair vilikhati vasudhām arka-mūlasya hetoḥ |
kṛtvā karpūra-khaṇḍān vṛttim iha kurute kodravāṇāṃ samantāt
prāpyemāṃ karm-bhūmiṃ na carati manujo yas topa manda-bhāgyaḥ ||

He cooks sesame grains in a pot made of lapis lazuli using bundles of sandalwood for firewood, / furrows the soil with golden plowshares merely for the sake of the root of the calotropis plant, / and sets up an enclosure all around coarse grain by using lumps of camphor— / that ill-fated man who, having attained this land of karma, does not practice ascetic austerity.
