naivākṛtiḥ phalati naivaa kulaṃ na śīlaṃ
vidyāpi naiva na ca yatna-kṛtāpi sevā |
bhāgyāni pūrva-tapasā khalu sañcitāni
kāle phalanti puruṣasya yathaiva vṛkṣāḥ ||

Neither beauty brings fruit, nor noble family, nor moral conduct, / nor learning, nor service rendered with great effort; / the fortunes amassed by prior ascetic austerity / bear fruit in due season for a man, just like trees.
